Subject: RE: Help: Info on song about Flying
Well, I finally found a copy of this song and will post the lyrics now with the corrections:


Dream No. 2
Ken Tobias 1972

I drew a picture of a pair of wings
Because I want to fly
My mother asked me to explain
I said that I would try

But I had a dream the other night about flying
And the man who was teaching me was crying
He said that fewer people were trying
And the art of really flying was dying

La lala lala lala
La lala lala
La lala lala lala
La lala lala

She said it was the strangest thing
That she had ever heard
A man can only be a man
He cannot be a bird

That's not really true, I tried to tell her
If you search for love, you soon will find an answer
You gotta think so high you're floating like a feather
But you have to learn to leave your head

So spread your wings and fly away
Up into the wind
Above the trees you glide with ease
Round and back again

Father, can't you hear me?
I bid you take my hand
Dying's a part of living
But I know you'll understand

But all he did was walk away and leave me
I saw it in his eyes, he said it cannot be
He said I'm living in a world of fantasy
How can I tell him this is my reality

So spread your wings and fly away
Up into the wind
Above the trees you glide with ease
Round and back again

La lala lala lala
La lala lala
La lala lala lala
La lala lala

I drew a picture of a pair of wings
Because I want to fly

La lala lala lala
