Wish I had an aeroplane

I'd fly away up yonder

'Til I could write me the perfect song

It'd be a song for the people

It'd be a song that everybody could sing along



If you needed a ride

You'd have one

If you needed a friend

I'd be your best one

If you got afraid

I'd take away all your pain

And I'd let you fly

In my aeroplane



If this song could spread happiness

I'd sing it long and loud

All over this land

I'd teach this song to the troubled

And we'd sing it for anybody

Who needed a helping hand



If you needed a ride

You'd have one

If you needed a friend

I'd be your best one

If you got afraid

I'd take away all your pain

And I'd let you fly

In my aeroplane



If you had a wish

Well I wonder what in the world

Your wish might be

Would it be a wish of freedom

And a joyous noise

That could ring out from all eternity



If you needed a ride

You'd have one

If you needed a friend

I'd be your best one

If you got afraid

I'd take away all your pain

And I'd let you fly - high

In my aeroplane
