Rucker, Darius - If I Had Wings Lyrics






Why do we hate' Why do we suffer?
Why do we make our mistakes and constantly blame one another?
Why is there war and why is there killing?
Have we forgotten some secret we knew back when we were just children?

If I had wings I'd fly up to heaven
I'd look down from the clouds on everything
Then I could find all the things we've been missin'
I would have all the answers if I had wings

Like why I am here and where did I come from
And where will I go when my time here on this earth is done
And what would I leave that would go on forever?
Oh no, and what can I do while I'm here to make someone's life better?

If I had wings I'd fly up to heaven
I'd look down from the clouds on everything
Then I could find all the things we've been missin'
I would have all the answers if I had wings

Oh now, if I had wings I would fly up to heaven
I would have all the answers if I had wings

    I never heard this song before. I just happened to walk into a meeting room and it was playing before their meeting started. I just stopped in my tracks and listened to every word. How beautiful.
    One of the lines that really grabbed me and stuck with me all day was, "Have we forgotten some secret we knew back when we were just children?" I mean really! Think about that. When I watch the news, or just the character of some people I wonder and say to myself, "what the heck has happened to people?"

  10. I.... a....

    Makes sense though

    logan wright That is very young to lose your mom,my mom passed away 4 years ago when I was 31 on June 1st 2014,it was rough but I was older than you,I can't imagine how hard it was on you at 16 to lose her but I can say I understand the pain of not having mom around and having to say goodbye.I too have kept many memories of my mom but I have no video only pictures and her Fb messages to me that I sometimes go back and read just to remember how she was,the photos help a lot too.It's rough I know that much but keep those memories alive because I believe the stories we tell and memories we have of them keeps them alive in some way,take care of yourself.

    l.... w....

    I am very sorry for your loss Logan.

    We live in Columbia, SC where Darius and the other members of Hootie & The Blowfish got their start. I love both the group and Darius' solo music. My son Evin passed away March 15, 2014 in a car accident and we chose this song to play at his service. Thank you Darius for making suck a beautiful song! We will play this on his birthday, Dec 30, 2014 where we will celebrate this day with him where he is layed to rest.

    D.... F....

    I just want to say how deeply sorry I am for the loss of your precious son. I too lost my son 4 years ago. You chose a very beautiful song for his service. It is the harshest thing a person will endure...the loss of a child. I understand. Just had to reach out to you. God bless.

    J.... A....

    I'm so sad for your loss. I lost my Mama and Daddy 19 days apart. After my Mothers' 3 year battle with cancer, it moved, my Daddy knew she didn't have long, he left us so unexpectedly, but not surprisingly, he loved her so. Not long after that my big brother had a stroke and didn't live long after his wife threw him away.I will be so happy when I have my wings and am with them and many others once again.

  65. D.... H....

    all of his songs are so great mostly all of them make me cry

  66. D.... ....

    I was introduced to Darius Rucker as a Country Musician when I heard his song "Lost in You" a month ago or so. I fell in love with the song and thought there was something strangely familiar about the voice. I searched for it on iTunes and was astonished to discover that it was *the* Darius Rucker of Hootie and the Blowfish. I downloaded the album and found myself astonished by the quality of the music, which is absolutely soul stirring. Rucker's Country music is wonderful!

  67. C.... H....

    I have been married to my awesome husband for 17 yrs and we have been together for 19.We are an interracial couple and I don't care what other people think or say.My whole family is mixed and I love them all.I would not change any of them for all the money in the world..

  68. D.... ....

    Well, I appreciate that advice and I'll also say, for me, words of encouragement. I'm not sure if I got what it takes to "make it" just yet, but it still remains a dream. So thanks for responding.

  69. M.... E....

    Christina unfortunately I allowed myself to get into a post war w/this trash dude. Going forward I will not entertain him. Who you marry and love is your business. You seem like a cool person stay that way. It's sad that dude Brennan doesn't get his poison mentality/language. Music for me and millions of folks is the only area usually were there is NO HATRED/NO RACISM/NO SEXISM. Which is why allowed myself to react to that TRASH dude. I needed to rant because of his response to me & u.

  70. M.... E....

    PATHETIC only 1 word for you DUDE! Hey a suggestion that might help ya come to New York and mingle. Learn about the various different ethnic people that exists on this earth. Ignorance is learned it can be unlearned. There is hope for ya...DUDE. I could cuss ya out but I'll leave some form of communication that you could use. Now you get out and enjoy nature all the beautiful different color flowers. It makes for a nice colored garden such as why God put different nationality here idiot!

  71. M.... E....

    Last but not least why were you listening to Darius Rucker anyway? Any response idiot!!! Your apparently a confused white angry dud who isn't aware that you shouldn't be pulling up the kind/talented/good human being/down to earth Hootie n the Blow Fish lead singer. Notice the majority of that audience was WHAT??? Poor white dude confused it's that anger dude guarantee ya!!! It's displaced again go be an activist. Talk to Willie Nelson and the many other Country artist that would find you

  72. M.... E....

    You don't strike me as a person who has been to Europe. Well many Europeans would find your mentality as BACKWARDS/UNEDUCATED/SAD. Wait a minute are you related to Tim McVay? Are ya one of those white militants or KKK wayward boys that had a dysfunctional back ground? I have a feeling you might come from that type of unhealthy back ground. Or are you made about the 10% which GUARANTEE U ARE NOT FROM. Well guess what idiot who's fault is that? My people gave your people free labor economy

  73. M.... E....

    It's apparent you are not a musician. Even thou your trying to look like one in that incognito photo of yours. I guarantee ya most artist/musicians from A to Z would have issue w/your negative comments. Tell ya what ya should do stand in front of a mirror and study yourself for as longggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg as u can. You might see how ugly u come off. See us New Yorkers for the most part don't want to relate to u

  74. M.... E....

    Your responses were so deep and intelligent some of my friends a mix crew. A reflection of all ethnic groups etc literally had a field day w/your backwards ignorant ranting. Music is a language of the soul dude...take a chill pill:) No white male should walk around w/the amount of anger you have it's not good for one's health. Are you made at the white males that has ripped this country off financialy for YEARS. I doubt it! Your one of those cowards. Education for ya Bill Maher show :)

  75. M.... E....

    Now why you go and cuss when you COULD have used intelligent words opposed to trailer park comments. No Go Fuck myself is a private action that I wouldn't want to expose you to from the looks of your picture:( Have a nice day in the same sentence is contradictory ...u think? Then he tries to insult me w/the word Cunt. Oh my I do declare!! The white race is being wiped out from who....oh it's the NATIVE AMERICANS who are probably behind your myth ...right. Again a white male who ignorant

  76. M.... E....

    I love yo intelligent response. Those aren't glasses...OK! It's not a problem for me that you have racial issues..dude!! Not at all believe me. I'm allowed to give my opinion just as you are. I have a feeling the comments I made hopefully you understood them might have triggered your ignorance because they were of truth...perhaps?!!! The white race you so called are concerned about well pay ATTENTION is a white woman right??? Well idiot you disrespected her...WHY?? You see stupidty......

  77. M.... E....

    Your going to try and smack down a human being that expressed love or just respecting an artist w//tremendous talent and beautiful personality w/nice brown skin (no tanning bed needed). Reallyyyyyyyyy!!!! So all these white folks and other of all nationalities are stupid because they dig Darious Rucker music/talent as an awesome writer/producer. Hootie and the Blow Fish followers are what? Now lets analyze this. Are you a Comedian? Is that it?!! I love to see a white male that is ignorant

  78. M.... E....

    A man w/pretty ebony/brown/tan/cream colored skin ya mean? Are you tryin to say that a man of color is a problem for ya? Why and How? Take off them glass dude...Why is ya hidding behind them. OH OH I know ya trying to be cool? right? Whom Christina is married to is concern of yours becauseeeeeeeeeeeeee???? I'm waiting.... Get a life.

  79. M.... E....

    I'm actually working on organizing my own private tour business. So I urge you to stay in touch w/me and I can personal show you this city! My company will be called "Off The Beaten Path" I want to showcase the area of NY that most people unless their NY associates take them they wouldn't necessarily see Upstate NY. It is beyond beautiful all year round especially during the Spring/Summer/Fall/Early Winter the mountains are breathe taking. Long Island the beach area is lovely. NY awaits ya!

  80. M.... E....

    :) NY is waiting for ya!! It's an amazing crazy town w/issues and exposure from A to Z of course. I urge you to make a trip here first if you haven't as yet. NY weather has been pretty decent this Spring for a change. Climate issues all over the world is out of it's norm. I suggest when folks visit late Spring/Summer and of course the BEST TIME to visit is the FALL. The last 2 weeks of October as ALWAYS beautiful You must check out the Henry Hudson during that time the foliage is AWESOME

  81. M.... E....

    Christina I hope you get my point that I am making to that Brennan guy. When I read his comment to you asking if you were married to a Black Guy I had to respond. I can't stand stupidity backwards thinking because it is just that. Plus it keeps folks caged in under control and no one or a backwards mindset will ever keep me in bondage. Regardless of Brennan nasty comment/? regarding what ethnicity of a man your married to. He wouldn't make a good choice of a man to marry. His picture..NOT!

  82. M.... E....

    I learned years ago that RACISM is a sickness Brennan Elmore you confirmed it:) Life is so difficult. I get that practice of ignorance and lack of truth doesn't work for me. I come from a people who were forced to build this country from forced labor. Who gave America it's 1st Economical system soooooooo because of this FACT/TRUTH. Who should be ashamed? Ain't nothing worse than a white person who benefited from that holocaust shows up ignorant. Brennan Elmore are you trailer park folk?

    Christina I agree w/all you said it accurate. May I + that color is God given it + to our individuality. God made folks of different color/culture to embrace something new different. RACES OF PEOPLE!!! Do see my beautiful brown skin:) I love food from every corner of the world. A persons heart/integrity is how love/friendship is based. Yes I'm a New Yorker who has been exposed to various cultures/people/culinary delights etc. I love it all!!!! Hatred doesn't run through my veins.

  96. J.... M....
