No fear, no pain Nobody left to blame I'll try alone Make destiny my own I learn to free my mind Myself I now must find Once more Once more If I could fly Like the king of the sky Could not tumble nor fall I would picture it all If I could fly See the world through my eyes Would not stumble nor fail To the heavens I sail If I could fly So here I am In solitude I stand I've got dreams inside I need to realize My faith has grown No fear of the unknown No more No more If I could fly Like the king of the sky Could not tumble nor fall I would picture it all If I could fly See the world through my eyes Would not stumble nor fail I could ravage my jail If I could fly
