I Can Fly

Kansas

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 forget the time light as air I don't care feelin fine 
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 
Feelin good feelin free feelin so fine 

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 I'm where the angles fear to tread 
I feel like I've lost my way 

Down and down and down I go I've lost all sense of my direction 
This flaming spitfire flight has come undone 
Grounding stages of rejection I am 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 
But I thought they said great 
I crown myself the king of liars I am what I have learned to hate
