i believe i can fly

R. Kelly really took off with this inspirational space jam. He composed 'I Believe I Can Fly' for the film 'Space Jam' featuring Michael Jordan with Looney Tunes characters. Kelly was given an advance copy of the movie: "I studied it and I prayed over it because I wanted the best thing to come out of it." The song was more of a sucess than the film, going to number one in Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, Switzerland, and the UK. In the US, it peaked at number two on the pop chart; but held the number one position on the R&B chart for six weeks. 'I Believe I Can Fly' also won three Grammy Awards for Rhythm-and-Blues Song, Male Rhythm-and-Blues Vocalist, and Film or Television Song.

I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meanin' of true love
I'm leanin' 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 can 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

See I was on the verge of breakin' down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me oh

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

I believe I can 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 runnin' through that open door
I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

Hey 'cuz I believe in me
If I can see it then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

I believe I can 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 runnin' through that open door
I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

Hey if I just spread my wings
I can fly
I can fly
I can fly, hey
If I just spread my wings
I can fly
Fly
