Seen it written and I've heard it told That a man does things for gold Drives him crazy and it makes him old Before his time Sittin' 'round waitin' for the rainbow's end Wastin' time and loosin' friends Never knowin' that it ends before his eyes But those of us who seek the truth Will be there when she rides Talkin' 'bout wings To carry us over the water Talkin' 'bout wings Pickin' us up by the waves Aw so many things can breed misunderstandin' We'll soon be landin' on velvet wings Once met a man and his words were wise And he looked me in the eyes He said brother don't you compromise What you feel All things figure in a bigger plan And it's up to veryman Just to do the best to reach his own ideals And build a world around himself And live it like he feels Talkin' 'bout wings To carry us over the water Talkin' 'bout wings Pickin' us up by the waves Aw so many things can breed misunderstandin' We'll soon be landin' on velvet wings Talkin' 'bout wings To carry us over the water Talkin' 'bout wings Pickin' us up by the waves Aw so many things can breed misunderstandin' We'll soon be landin' on velvet wings Talkin' 'bout wings To carry us over the water Talkin' 'bout wings Pickin' us up by the waves Aw so many things can breed misunderstandin' We'll soon be landin' on velvet wings
