  • I, can fly
    You had me caged up like a bird in mid-summer
    You saw me waiting, I was crazy, on fire, waiting to fly
    I, can fly

    I had bright wishes in the summer, I was bathing in sunlight
    Painting in the garden like a ghost in Mid-July
    Running fast from something with my eyes wide like
    Saucers spinning in the sun

    I had a dream that I was fine
    I wasn't crazy, I was divine

    I, can fly
    You had me caged up like a bird in mid-summer
    You saw me waiting, I was crazy, on fire, waiting to fly
    I, can fly

    Your lies were hard kisses in the summer
    I was dreaming of a lake
    Dreaming of the water where I'd rise like a phoenix
    Or an iron from the fire
    I've got things to tell you like I know that you're a liar

    I had a dream that I was fine
    I wasn't crazy, I was divine

    I, can fly
    You had me caged up like a bird in mid-summer
    You saw me waiting, I was crazy, on fire, waiting to fly
    I, can fly

    Your words cut like a knife in butter
    I was fighting for my art
    Fighting with my lover, you had me so tied up
    Thinking there's no other
    Yeah, right
    Yeah, right

    I, can fly,
    You had me caged up like a bird in mid-summer
    You saw me waiting, I was crazy, on fire, waiting to fly
    I, can fly Writer/s: ELIZABETH GRANT, RICK NOWELS
