Zebras And Airplanes

Alicia Keys · Other Songs - Alicia Keys

(Verse)

Have you ever wanna fly? Have you ever wanna run away?

Have you ever closed your eyes, seen a vision and it took you away

Wonder why in my dreams lookin up the sky is so blue

In the jungle I'm feelin so free where dreams do come true



(Chorus)

So come on, let's fly away

Like zebras and airplanes

Runnin so free through the night

Fire through the sky away

Like zebras and airplanes



(Verse)

Have you ever wanna gallop through the wind where water meets the sand?

If you ever wanna feel like this then come take my hand

Through the paint on the canvass and it cover up your emotion

Now's the time, take a chance, make a wish, let your fantasy begin



(Chorus)

So come on, let's fly away

Like zebras and airplanes

Runnin so free through the night

Fire through the sky away

Like zebras and airplanes



(Bridge)

What do zebras and airplanes mean?

They say zebras running free through the night

Airplanes fly high through the sky

And that can be you and I



(Chorus)

So come on, let's fly away

Like zebras and airplanes

Runnin so free through the night

Fire through the sky away

Like zebras and airplanes
