[Verse 1]
Give ear to my prayer, God
Do not hide from my cries
Give heed with your answer
For I'm overwhelmed, I'm overwhelmed

[Verse 2]
My heart, it keeps pounding
Inside of my chest
With the terrors of death around me, fear surrounding
And I can't stop from trembling

[Chorus]
Oh, had I wings, had I wings
Had I wings, I would fly away and find a place to rest
Oh, had I wings, had I wings
Had I wings, I could find some quiet in this wilderness

[Verse 3]
Come and confuse, Lord
Divide these evil ways
For I have seen violence and oppressions
In the city, night and day
Not by a stranger
But by my dearest friend
What sweet fellowship we once enjoyed
Now burns with bitterness
[Chorus]
Oh, had I wings, had I wings
Had I wings, I would fly away and find a place to rest
Oh, had I wings, had I wings
Had I wings, I could find some quiet in this wilderness

[Interlude]

[Outro]
Smooth and enticing
But his heart was war
Softer than oil were his words
Yet they were ready-drawn swords
These men of bloodshed
And deceit will see their end
But cast your burden on the Lord and He'll sustain you yet again
Oh, cast your burden on the Lord and He'll sustain you
Yet again
