Turtle Shell
All I need is my turtle shell
A couple pennies for the wishing well
Maybe get me some bird-like wings
So I can be with the ones that sing
So I can fly so high
So I can swoop so low
And I'll soar through the sky
Won't return for tomorrow
I won't leave you behind
Cause I'm leaving here the sorrow
And all the things that made me blind
Are now yours to borrow
Cause all I need is my turtle shell
A couple pennies for the wishing well
Maybe get me some bird-like wings
So I can be with the ones that sing
Let me fly above the clouds
Make the people like ants
Make then fall to their knees
When I take my stance
Let the love rain down
No umbrellas found
Won't fly towards the sun
Cause my wings will come undone
But all's not lost
I'll make a wish for a better cause
I'll shatter my turtle shell
Throw my pennies in the wishing well
Wish for everyone to have some wings
So we can all fly and be set free
