Kansas I Can Fly Lyrics

(David Ragsdale / Steve Walsh)

I can fly, I really can
Wave good-bye familiar land
Catch the wind, make my climb
Breathin' in, born again, feelin' fine

I can fly above distress
I can fly to heaven no less
Leave the earth, make my climb
Light as air, I don't care, feelin' fine

Chorus:
Don't say I'm crazy, don't say I'm out of my head
I might be crazy, but one thing's for certain
One thing's for sure

I can fly above the sea
I can fly hey look at me
Without a net, leave it behind
Light as air, I don't care, feelin' so fine

(Chorus)

My lofty purchase high above
I'm losing sight of you
I'm climbing up just like a kite
The calm before the storm
When all at once it dawned on me
Where I'm not supposed to be
Clouds are black, the sky is red
Where the angels fear to tread
I feel like I've lost my way

Down and down and down again I go
I've lost all sense of my direction
This flaming spitfire flight has come undone
Grounding stages of rejection
I was not worthy to have even tried
Help me annihilate this foolish pride
Where Icarus died

I say the act of my contrition
Be sure to bless all before I die
Save my seat in the smoking section
Cut me loose and say good-bye
I wake up on the doctors table
Where life and death are up for grabs
I'm comin', I'm comin', you better shoot me
Kill the pain and count the scabs
No no no get out of my black dream
Give me life, give me life, I'll make a vow
I'll resist temptation
I promise here and now
You see it all started when I was younger
They said I was good, I thought they said great
I crown myself the king of liars
I am what I have learned to hate
