Lyric

If I were a bird, I would fly to every friend

— "I am a bird," said Bird. "And I walked with you to the end."

If I could sing in every language, I would sing to everyone

If I had a thousand years, I would learn them one by one

I wish the world were smaller. I wish the night were short

— "But then," said Bird, "no journey. No story. No airport."

The inventor who believed the unusual was true

Came up with a lamp that burned rainwater-bright

"Think outside the box," he said, "and the box thinks too."

Probably impossible — until it worked one night

If I were braver, if I were taller, if I were more —

But "more" is a door that opens from in here

Words are power. Words are light

I wish — and then I work. And the wish comes near

If everyone delivered one kind thing a day

The consumer of sadness would run out of stock

A sustainable heart is a battery that stays —

Charged by a second chance, a toy, a friend, a talk

I wish you were here — the ones we've met along the way

The chef, the host, the doctor, the man who walked

If this song could reach you… — "It can," said Bird. "Today

A wish that turns to work is a word that talked."

If I were braver — I am braver than before

If I were taller — look, I'm standing at the door

Words are power. Words are light

We wished. And then we worked. And here we are. And there is more

If I were a bird… — "You are," said Bird. "Inside

Everyone who sings has wings. Now — fly. And I'll fly beside."
