I Dreamed....9) Birds In Flight

I've been awakened in the night;
I've just been soaring 
To the height of heights;
You see it's one of those nights,
And my wings aren't taking flight!
Ooh, how I want to soar,
And it's only my mind that's soaring!
O please wait for me;
For over a thousand I see...
They're dipping and diving 
All over the sky
And I'm still lying 
On my back and could cry!
O birds of the air, 
This isn't fair!
Give me your wings 
For mine won't fly,
It's one of those things 
And  now I think I know why;
You see it's only the birds who were meant to fly.
So goodbye, goodbye
Enjoy the sky 
While I idely stand by!
