Flying For Me Lyrics - 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 a song 

Giving a voice to all of the hearts that cannot 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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 a falling star 

I wanted to give myself and free myself, and join 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 can 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.
