I wish I was a pilot
Soaring over everyone and everything
Looking at the landscape
What a peaceful tiny scene

Staring over the skyline
Oh I feel the blue dancing on my wings
Turn off the engine
Imagine what tomorrow brings

[Chorus]
Because the time, it won't delay
Take it from the other side
Born and lost but its a-one more time
To get my fill
Of this old forgotten thrill, this life

I wish I was a fighter pilot
Soaring over everyone and everything
Through the smoke and fire
Imagine the hell I’d bring

Because the time, it won’t delay
Take it from the other side
Born and lost but its a-one more time
To get my fill
Of this old forgotten thrill, this life
