about

The hardest was the physical separation between families and friends. We were distanced. Borders closed …. If we could only have wings and fly.

lyrics

If I had wings
If I had wings, that could carry me over,
cross mountains high and seas so blue
I’d tell you tales and hold you ever so lightly,
And reassure you that we can get through.

But the borders are closed, the roads are less travelled,
We must another way find to go,
that lives the journey and arriving thereafter,
As all that was, cannot be anymore.

If I had wings, I would fly me over,
and lift you up to distant shores.
To taste the sweet air a blowing,
and not be afraid, no, not anymore.

But the borders are closed, the roads are less travelled,
We must another way find to go,
that lives the journey and arriving thereafter.
As all that was, cannot be anymore.

If I had wings that could carry me over
I'd hold your hand and we’d talk of yore,
Keeping watch for the dark clouds
We’d dream of tomorrow.
and laugh out loud as we did once more.
