[Verse 1: Richard Palmer]
I ain't got too much money, I ain't got too much sense
Long ago, I had a dream, but that's no recompense
My father was a blind man, my brother was a fool
My mother told me, "God is love", but hatred makes the rules
[Refrain: Roger Hodgson]
Teach me to fly
So I shan't drag my feet in the sand
Give me the sky
I would take the whole world in my hand
[Verse 2: Richard Palmer]
Well, don't you tell me
I cannot last at all
Before you know, I'll come and go
And make you if I can
[Chorus: Richard Palmer]
Maybe I'm a beggar
Just check your sympathy
They throw away their gentle love
And keep their pain for me
[Post-Chorus: Roger Hodgson]
Can we be free
In a world where to love is to own?
Well, when will we see
That a man must face life all alone?
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus: Richard Palmer]
Maybe I'm a beggar
Just check your sympathy
They throw away their gentle love
And keep their pain for me
[Refrain: Roger Hodgson]
Teach me to fly
So I shan't drag my feet in the sand
Give me the sky
I would take the whole world in my hand
[Post-Chorus: Roger Hodgson]
Can we be free
In a world where to love is to own?
Well, when will we see
That a man must face life all alone?
Oh yeah
[Outro: Roger Hodgson & Richard Palmer]
La, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
