Listen now, I got a story to tell About a bird who wanted to fly away You see he knew that he could and he probably would But his family said they needed him to stay But his spirit is strong and he's been waiting so long And he don't really want nobody to tell him that he wrong So excuse me I wanna go and kiss the sky Cause these wings that I was given were inteded to fly Everybody mad at lil' ol' me Cause I ain't the same bird I used to be Oh but if you had a dream, something you wanted to do I sure wouldn't be the one to keep it from you I can't let nobody hold me down This is my life and that's my sky I was born to fly Look it here This is nothing I should fear This should down and disappear I done lost my fear I don't know if you seen what I saw But I hope someday you'll see it my way I believe I believe I can breath I believe I can find some happiness I know that ya watch me grow but don't worry 'bout me Cause I'm gonna be ok I wanna sing, wanna dance, wanna scream, wanna shout I wanna be everything I am I ain't nobody's fool Nobody's child no more I'm a full grown man I used to wonder if I could If I would If I should and I know I got to know And now three ain't no doubt in my mind I can do it, I can do it, I know I can If I couldn't fly I might well die Let me go human, can't go hold my hand no more Let me go Let me be, set me free Let me go
