Flying for Me - John Denver

Well, I guess that you probably know by now

I was one who wanted to fly

I wanted to ride on that arrow of fire right up into heaven

And I wanted to go for every man,

every child, every mother of children

I wanted to carry the dreams of all people right up to the stars

And I prayed that I’d find an answer there

Or maybe I would find the song

Giving a voice to all of the hearts that can not be heard

And for all of the ones who live in fear

And all of those who stand apart

My being there would bring us a little step closer together

They were flying for me, they were flying for everyone

They were trying to see, a brighter day for each and everyone

They gave us their light, they gave us their spirit,

and all they could be They were flying for me, they were flying for me And I wanted to wish on the Milky Way

and dance upon the falling star

I wanted to give myself, and free myself, enjoin’myself with it all!

Given the chance to dream, it can be done

The promise of tomorrow is real

Children of spaceship Earth, the future belongs to us all

She was flying for me, she was flying for everyone

She was trying to see, a brighter day for each and everyone

She gave us her light, she gave us her spirit,

and all she could be She was flying for me They were flying for me, they were flying for everyone

They were trying to see, a brighter day for each and everyone

They gave us their light, they gave us their spirit,

and all they could be They were flying for me, they were flying fot me they were flying for me, they were flying for me.
