I Believe I Can Fly Lyrics

If I can see it and that's when I'm like about anything
If I can see it, I can do it

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 could fly
I believe I can touch the sky
Think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away

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

I believe I could 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

'Cause I believe in me
I believe in me

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

I believe, I believe I could fly
I believe I can touch the sky
Think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away

I believe, I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly, I believe, I believe
I believe I can fly and I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I know, I know I can fly
I know, I know I can soar
See me running through that open door
I, I can fly

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
