Lyrics:
My people (3x)
I see the sun in the sky
But it's an illusion, I am feeling so high
From the stress and madness of today
My brother, edey pain me, but what can I say
I say na so so confusion, complete pollution
Total corruption in every nation
I feel like wailing, but my voice dey fail me
And now it's got me going crazy, plus it's got me wishing, wishing
Chorus 2x
I wish I could fly, fly (8x), fly up to nowhere
The only thing in my eyes is tears of frustration from what I am feeling inside
Cos it feels like Armageddon is closing in on me
in the middle of the beautiful things in this world, destruction is all I see
Sodom and Gomorrah is coming back again
I constantly feel the pain upon the innocent people being slain
But I remember say my papa bin tell me
Say my son, e no go easy, e no go easy for sheezy
I feel like wailing, but my voice dey fail me
And now it's got me going crazy, plus it's got me wishing, wishing
Repeat Chorus
I wish I could fly to South Africa without a visa
I wish I could fly to Japan and say
I wish I could fly to Ethiopia and say how far
I wish I could fly to America and tell them I am super duper star
I wish I could fly everywhere
I wish I could fly, say I wish I could fly
You know the kind fly wey I dey talk about
No shaking man
Anyhow, one love man
But I'm stuck here, can't fly nowhere man
