Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Floating free as a bird Sixty foot leaps it's so absurd From up here you should see the view Such a lot of space for me and you Oh you'd like it Gliding around get your feet off the ground Oh you'd like it Do as you please with so much ease Now I know how it feels To have wings on my heels To take a stroll among the stars Get a close look at planet Mars Oh you'd like it Gliding around get your feet off the ground Oh you'd like it Do as you please with so much ease Bouncing about on the moon Guess you'll all be up here soon The candy stores they'll be brand new And you'll buy a rock with the moon right through Oh you'd like it Gliding around get your feet off the ground Oh you'd like it Do as you please with so much ease Come fly... Come fly... Come fly...
