Lyrics
I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
(Chorus)
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 breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me
If I can see it, then I can be it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
(Chorus)
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
spread 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
hey'Cos I believe in you
oh..............
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
(Chorus)
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
spread 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
If I just spread my wings (I can fly)
I can fly (I can fly)
I can fly (I can fly)
I can fly (I can fly)
If I just spread my wings (I can fly)
I can fly...(i can fly,i can fly)
woo... i can fly
hmmmmm...fly, fly, fly
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
(Chorus)
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 breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me
If I can see it, then I can be it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
(Chorus)
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
spread 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
hey'Cos I believe in you
oh..............
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
(Chorus)
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
spread 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
If I just spread my wings (I can fly)
I can fly (I can fly)
I can fly (I can fly)
I can fly (I can fly)
If I just spread my wings (I can fly)
I can fly...(i can fly,i can fly)
woo... i can fly
hmmmmm...fly, fly, fly

Song Status
In the spring of 1996, Kelly received an early version of the kiddie movie Space Jam, featuring Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny. "I studied it and I prayed over it," said Kelly, "because I wanted the best thing to come out of it." The movie was nothing special, but the gospel-style ballad Kelly came up with lives on at weddings and sixth-grade choir concerts to this day, despite his recent legal troubles.
