If Pigs Could Fly


[Words & Music: Ted Kirkpatrick]

Why does God refuse to move [repeat 4x]

If pigs could fly they'd fly away
and never grace the earth again
I wait and wait and wait and wait
but nothing good happens for me

I pray to fly but when I die
my feet are still flat on the ground
My brain is good, no legs of wood,
but if you could, I think you should

He ain't standing in my way [repeat 4x]
Cause I did nothin' today

Your ship has crashed no sign of shore -
to sit in your lifeboat - you can do no more
5 days at sea starved to the core -
lifeboat is leaking - a rip in the floor

[Solo 1: Ted, Solo 2: Aaron]

But wait - on the horizon -
land - land hoe!
Will you sit there and pray -
or will you get up and row?

The next time you are quick to say
" I'm just waitin' on the Lord"
Just make sure hat you remember
where we all have been before
All things be come one...
