How It Feels To Fly
Alicia Keys · The Element of Freedom [2009]
That it made you feel weak
Long days, Long nights
And you just can't sleep
Have you ever been so sure
That gave you cold feet
Gotcha floating on air
You can feel your heart beat
Well I never knew
This feeling never
Now I hope it stays
And last forever
I am riding high
Don't want come down
Hope my wings don't fail me now
If I can touch the sky
I risk the fall
Just to know how it feels to fly
Have you ever felt so lost
But didn't know until you were found
Looking everywhere but you finally see now
In a room full of people
It feels like no one's around
Gotcha head in the clouds
and feel your feet are off the ground
Say I never knew
This feeling ever
Now I hope it stays
And last forever
I am riding high
Don't want come down
Hope my wings don't fail me now
If I can touch the sky
I risk the fall
Just to know how it feels to fly
(yeah)yeah(yeah)
Fly Higher (Higher)
Fly (Higher)
I am riding high
Don't want come down
Hope my wings don't fail me now
If I can touch the sky
I risk the fall
Just to know how it feels to fly
I am riding high
Don't want come down
Hope my wings don't fail me now
If I can touch the sky
I risk the fall
Just to know how it feels to fly
yeah(yeah)yeah
