when i could fly

Keith Perry

I am a man with both feet planted on the ground
I'm the one they depend on to keep things tied down
And when the wind blows they all need to know
I'm the daddy, the savior and I'm sorry there's a storm
But sometimes I don't feel that strong and a part of me surrenders
What the man in me has forgotten, the boy in me remembers

Chorus
When I could fly, when I could fly
Above the fields and valleys wide
Earth below and above me sky
I could do anything when I could fly


I have a boy, now he's a lot like me
There are something's I can teach him, there's even more he teaches me
He has the courage to challenge gravity
He's here the sky worth, it's easy, it comes so naturally
He has no fear of falling the way his daddy does
Seeing him so carefree remind how it was

Chorus
When I could fly, when I could fly
Above the fields and valleys wide
Earth below and above me sky
I could do anything when I could fly


This world has gotten heavy as I've gotten older
But when I lift this boy of mine high above my shoulders

Chorus
I can fly, I can fly
Above the fields and valleys wide
Earth below and above me sky
I can do anything when I can fly
