Lyrics:
Vanessa Williams sings the song which runs over the end credits, music by Maurice Jarre, lyrics by Ray Underwood. The lyrics as heard in the film:
Wings made of paper, or wings made of plaster Wings of an eagle, or airplane, or faster Wings made of wind Made of luck, made of light Wings in a rush in the hush of a night Some wings are invisible Some wings are much harder to see Some are hidden completely ...
Who says a hero’s a knight on a charger? Braver and stronger and always much larger Why not the guy in the tie on the train? Why not the bum on the bench in the rain? Some wings are invisible Some wings are much harder to see Some are hidden completely …
Over (another voice: ‘over’) …your shoulder (another voice joins in soaring with an ‘ooh’) Out of the blue (voice: ‘blue’) Something may be calling (voice ‘calling’) Calling (‘calling’) (then together) … youuuu…
Wings made of feather Or wings made of fable If not for our wings are we ready or able Wings made of dreams Made of love, made of prayer Wings made of things that can rise on the air Some wings are invisible Some wings are much harder to see Are they hidden inside of youuu … and meee? (There’s a long tail out for the orchestra)
