He asked her, "What gifts can I bring you
To prove that my love for you is true?
I want to make you mine forever
There's nothing on this earth I would not do"
She said, "Anything I've wanted
You have given willingly
So now there's only one more thing I need"
If you love me, give me wings
And don't be afraid if I fly
A bird in a cage will forget how to sing
If you love me, give me wings
He walked over to the window
He silently stared into space
Then he said, "Well, I just want to protect you
'Cause this world is a dangerous place"
She put her arms around him
She said, "I know you mean well
But there are lessons I must learn for myself"
So if you love me, give me wings
And don't be afraid if I fly
A bird in a cage will forget how to sing
And you can trust me, so give me wings
She said, "Up above the clouds
You can see forever
And I know you and I can learn to fly together"
If you love me, give me wings
Don't be afraid if I fly
A bird in a cage will forget how to sing
And you can trust me, so give me wings
