Lyrics

Red Tailed Hawk, gliding in the breeze, high above the trees and all the trouble down below
He don’t know, any other way to be, flying high and free, it’s the only way to go

Migration south, a thousand miles more, shadows on the shore, cross the Delaware
But that’s not him, he braves the winter chill, just like me and you, he’s not going any where

If I could fly, I would fly, no questions asked, no long goodbyes
With my tribe, to the other side, if I could fly, I would fly

Silently, watching from above, poor little-morning-dove, there ain’t nowhere to run
That’s how it is, don’t-know when it’s going to end, so catch it while you can, embrace the mystery

If I could fly, I would fly, no questions asked, no long goodbyes
With my tribe, to the other side, if I could fly, I would fly

Thunder crack, a bullet from a gun, a pot shot just for fun… the human ignorance
Battle scarred, never asking why, pointing to the sky, he knows what’s done is done

If I could fly, yeah I would fly, no questions asked, no long goodbyes
With my tribe, to the other side, if I could fly, I would fly

If I could fly, I would fly, no questions asked, no long goodbyes
With my tribe, to the other side, if I could fly, I would fly

If I could fly, yeah I would fly
