"Zoom" is a song written by Lionel Richie, Ronald LaPread.

Commodores, often billed as the Commodores, are an American funk and soul group. The group's most successful period was in the late 1970s and early 1980s when Lionel Richie was the co-lead singer.

The members of the group met as mostly freshmen at Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University) in 1968, and signed with Motown in November 1972, having first caught the public eye opening for the Jackson 5 while on tour.

The band's biggest hit singles are ballads such as "Easy", "Three Times a Lady", and "Nightshift"; and funk-influenced dance songs, including "Brick House", "Fancy Dancer", "Lady (You Bring Me Up)", and "Too Hot ta Trot".

Commodores were inducted into the Alabama Music Hall of Fame and Vocal Group Hall of Fame. The band has also won one Grammy Award out of nine nominations. The Commodores have sold over 70 million albums worldwide.

I may be just a foolish dreamer
But I don't care
Cause I know my happiness
Is waiting out there, somewhere

I'm searching for that silver lining
Horizons that I've never seen
Whoa, I'd like to take just this moment
And dream my dream, whoa dream my dream

Whoa, zoom, I'd like to fly far away from here
Where my mind, oh Lord, is fresh and clear
And I'll find the love that I long to see
Where everybody can be what they wanna be

Whoa, I'd like to greet the sun each morning
And walk amongst the stars at night
I'd like to know the taste of honey
In my life, in my life

Well, I've shared so many pains
And I've played so many games
Ah, but everyone finds the right way
Somehow, somewhere, someday

Whoa, zoom, I'd like to fly far away from here
Where my mind can be fresh and clear
And I'll find the love that I long to see
People can be what they wanna be

Ooh, ooh...

Whoa, I wish the world were truly happy
Living as one
I wish the world they call freedom
Someday would come, some day would come, baby

Whoa, zoom, I'd like to fly far away from here
Where my mind can be fresh and clear
And I'll find the love that I long to see
Everybody can be what they wanna be
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey, baby

(I-I-I-I) Zoom-zoom (baby)
I'd like to fly away (well, I'd like to fly away)
Zoom-zoom (well, I'd like to fly away)
Zoom (zoom, baby)
I'd like to fly away (well, I'd like to fly away)
Zoom-zoom (well, I'd like to fly away)
Zoom (zoom, baby)
I'd like to fly away (well, I'd like to fly away)
Zoom-zoom (well, I'd like to fly away)
Zoom (zoom, baby)

Zoom (I-I-I-I)
(Babe) Zoom-zoom (baby, yeah)
Zoom (you and me, baby)
(Walking free)
(Don't you wanna go, don't you wanna go)
(Hey, yeah, babe, babe, babe, babe)
(Yeah)
(Don't you wanna go, don't you wanna go)
