Fly / I Believe I Can Fly
Glee Cast · Other Songs - Glee Cast
I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
To fly, to fly
Santana:
Oh yo oh
Artie:
I used to think that I could not go on
Santana:
I wish today it will rain all day
Maybe that will kinda make the pain go away
Artie:
And life was nothing but an awful song
Santana:
They got their guns out aiming at me
But I become near when they aiming at me
Blaine:
Me, me, me against them
Me against enemies, me against friends
Somehow they both seem to become one
A sea full of sharks and they all smell blood
They start coming and I start rising
Must be surprising, I'm just surmising
Blaine and Santana:
I win, thrive, soar, higher, higher, higher
More fire
Rachel and Santana:
I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
Finn and New Directions:
I believe I can fly
(Rachel: Fly)
I believe I can touch the sky
I believe I can fly
(Rachel: Fly)
I believe I can touch the sky
Artie:
See I was on the verge of breakin' down
Santana:
Paint they own pictures, then they crop me in
But I will remain where the top begins
Artie:
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
Santana:
'Cause I am not a word, I am not a line
I am not a girl that can ever be defined
Blaine:
I hear the criticism loud and clear
That is how I know that the time is near
See we become alive in a time of fear
And I ain't got no motherfickle time to spare
Cry my eyes out for days upon days
Such a heavy burden placed upon me
Blaine and Santana:
But when you go hard your nay's become yea's
Yankee Stadium with Jay's and Kanye's
Rachel and Santana:
I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise

(Rachel: Fly)
I believe I can touch the sky
(Mercedes: Touch the sky)
Finn:
I believe I can fly
Mercedes with ND girls:
Get ready for it, get ready for it, get ready for it
Artie:
Then I can be it (Get ready for it, I came to win)
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
Mercedes:
Get ready for it!
Yeah!
Artie and New Directions:
I believe I can fly
(Rachel:Fly)
Finn and New Directions:
I believe I can touch the sky
(Mercedes: Sky)
I think about it
(Rachel:Fly)
Every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
(Mercedes: Ooh)
Finn and Artie with New Directions:
I believe I can soar
(Rachel:Fly)
(Mercedes: Get ready for it)
I see me runnin' through that open door

I believe I can fly
(Rachel:Fly)
(Mercedes: Get ready for it)
Finn:
I believe I can fly
