I BELIEVE I CAN FLY HOURGLASS
I used to think that I could not go on By Mindy Gladhill
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meanin' of true love Little boy, when you speak
I'm leanin' on the everlasting arms I can't help but kiss your cheeks
I love the way you grab my hands
If I can see it then I can do it And tell me all about your plans
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
Rocket high, comets fly
Chorus: You and I could take a ride
I believe I can fly And fly away to Neverland
I believe I can touch the sky And give our best to Peter Pan
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away When you reach for the stars
I believe I can soar Don't forget who you are
I see me running through that open door And please don't turn around and grow up way
I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly too fast
I believe I can fly See the sand in my grasp
From the first to the last
See I was on the verge of breakin' down Every grain becomes a memory of the past
Sometimes silence can seem so loud Oh, life's an hourglass
There are miracles in life I must achieve Life's an hourglass
But first I know it starts inside of me oh
If I can see it then I can do it Story's read, prayer is said
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it Close your eyes sleepyhead
While angels linger in your dreams
And hold you in their feathered wings
Chorus:
Just like you, I was small
Not that long ago at all
Hey 'cuz I believe in me
I wish you all the happiness
If I can see it then I can do it
That God gives freely if you ask
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
Chorus: When you reach for the stars
Don't forget who you are
Hey if I just spread my wings And please don't turn around and grow up way
I can fly too fast
I can fly See the sand in my grasp
I can fly, hey From the first to the last
If I just spread my wings Every grain becomes a memory of the past
Oh, life's an hourglass
