I Believe I Can Fly

X Factor (Us) · Other Songs - X Factor (Us)

I used to think that I could not go on

And life was nothing but an awful song

But now I know the meaning of true love

I'm leaning on the everlasting arms



If I can see it, then I can do it

If I just believe it, there's nothing to it



I believe I can fly

I believe I can touch the sky

I think about it every night and day

Spread my wings and fly away



I believe I can soar

I see me running through that open door

I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly

I believe I can fly



See I was on the verge of breaking down

Sometimes silence can seem so loud

There are miracles in life I must achieve

But first I know it starts inside of me



If I can see it, then I can be it

If I just believe it, there's nothing to it



I believe I can fly

I believe I can touch the sky

I think about it every night and day

Spread wings and fly away



I believe I can soar

I see me running through that open door



I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly

I believe I can fly



Hey, 'cause I believe in you

Oh, if I can see it, then I can do it

If I just believe it, there's nothing to it



I believe I can fly

I believe I can touch the sky

I think about it every night and day

Spread wings and fly away



I believe I can soar

I see me running through that open door

I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly

I believe I can fly



If I just spread my wings

(I can fly)

I can fly

(I can fly)



I can fly

(I can fly)

I can fly

(I can fly)



If I just spread my wings

(I can fly)

I can fly

(I can fly, I can fly)

Ooh, I can fly

Hmm, fly, fly, fly
