Flight Lyrics by Sutton Foster

Wish

2009

Let me run through a field in the night
Let me lift from the ground til my soul is in flight
Let me sway like the shade of a tree
Let me swirl like a cloud in a storm on the sea

Wish me on my way
Through the dawning day
I wanna flow, wanna rise, wanna spill
Wanna grow in a grove from the side of a hill

I don't care if the train runs late
If the checks don't clear, if the house blows down
I'll be off where the weeds run wild
Where the seeds fall far from this earthbound town

And I'll start to soar
Watch me rain til I pour
I'll catch a ship that'll sail me astray
Get caught in a wind, I'll just have to obey
Til I'm flying away
Away...
Ahhh...
Ahhh...

Let me leave behind
All the clouds in my mind
I wanna wake without wondering why
Finding myself in a burst for the sky
Ahhh!

I'll just roll
Let me lose all control
I wanna float like a wish in a well
Free as the sound of the sea in a shell

I don't know, but maybe I'm just a fool
I should keep to the ground
I should stay where I'm at
Maybe everyone has hunger like this
And the hunger will pass
But I can't think like that

All I know is somewhere through a clearing (Somewhere...)
There's a flickering of sunlight on a river long and wide
And I have such a river inside!

Let me run through a field in the night!
Let me lift from the ground til my soul is in flight!
Let me sway like the shade of a tree!
Let me swirl like a cloud in a storm on the sea!

Wish me on my way (Wish me on my way)
Through the dawning day
I wanna flow, wanna rise, wanna spill
Wanna grow on the side of a hill

Wanna shift like a wave rolling on
Wanna drift from the path
I've been traveling upon
Before I am gone
