Lyric I Can Fly

(David Ragsdale / Steve Walsh)

I can fly I really can wave good-bye familiar land
Catch the wind make my climb breathin in born again feelin fine
I can fly above distress I can fly to heaven no less
Leave the earth forget the time light as air I don t care feelin fine
Don t say I m crazy don t say I m out of my head
I might be crazy but one thing s for certain one thing s for sure
I can fly above the sea I can fly hey look at me
Without a net leave it behind
Feelin good feelin free feelin so fine

My lofty purchase high above I m losing sight of you
I m climbing up just like a kite the calm before the storm
When all at once it dawned on me where I m not supposed to be
Clouds are black the sky is red I m where the angles fear to tread
I feel like I ve lost my way

Down and down and down I go I ve lost all sense of my direction
This flaming spitfire flight has come undone
Grounding stages of rejection I am not worthy to have even tried
Help me annihilate this foolish pride where Icarus died

I say the act of my contrition be sure to bless all before I die
Save my seat in the smoking section cut me loose and say good-bye
I wake up on the doctors table where life and death are up for grabs
I m comin I m comin you better shoot me
Kill the pain and count the scabs no no no get out of my black dream
Give me life give me life I ll make a vow
I ll resist temptation I promise here and now
You see it all started when I was younger they said I was good
But I thought they said great
I crown myself the king of liars I am what I have learned to hate
