Fly / I Believe I Can Fly

Glee Cast · Other Songs - Glee Cast

Rachel:

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



Finn and New Directions:

I believe I can fly

(Rachel: Fly)

I believe I can touch the sky

(Mercedes: Ooh)

I believe I can fly

(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

(Mercedes: Get ready for it)

(Mercedes: Ooohoo)

I believe I can fly

(Rachel:Fly)

(Mercedes: Get ready for it)

Finn:

I believe I can fly
