"I Believe I Can Fly"

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, oh

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

Hey, cause I believe in me, oh

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

Hey, if I just spread my wings
I can fly
I can fly
I can fly, hey
If I just spread my wings
I can fly
Fly-eye-eye

I have always loved the idea of flight. In my mind, flight has always been associated with freedom - freedom from bondages, fears, inhibitions and pain, of exploring life uninhibited, the idea of being one with the wind, having it whisper into your ears and reaching heights never seen before, has always held a grip on me....

But then, in the humdrum of everyday life, i often forget this dream of mine... It gets buried under a patina of monotony, duty and routine and like the tarnish on bronze, the winds of time and change end up feeding on my dream. But then, this song breathes life into my dream. It reminds me of flight and the very idea of it has the ability to make me happy and serene. This is a song that takes me closer to my dream and my vision...

In moments of despair, in moments of joy, in moments of solitude and in moments of loneliness... This song has the uncanny ability to calm me down and make me want to fly.

It never fails to reconnect me to my dream.
It never fails to make me want to fly... it makes me want to give another try... !!!

Its a song I love and it makes my day in the darkest hours...
