I Believe I Can Fly I Believe I Can Fly by R. Kellyby R. Kelly
I used to think that I could not go on And life was nothing but an awful songBut now I know the meaning of true loveI’m leaning on the everlasting armsIf I can see it, then I can do itIf I just believe it, there’s nothing to itI believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the skyI think about it every night and daySpread my wings and fly awayI believe I can soar, I see me running through the open doorI believe I can fly
