Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the ever lasting arms
If I can see it
Then I can do it
If I just believe it
[Chorus]
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes the silence could seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first it's got to start inside of me
If I can see it
Then I can do it
If I just believe it
There's nothing to it
[Chorus]
Cuz I believe in me, yea,yea,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh
If I can see it
Then I can do it
If I just believe it
There's nothing to it, oh
[Chorus]
I believe I can fly(I can fly)
I believe I can fly(I can fly)
I believe I can fly(I can fly)
I can do anything yea, yea, yea. yea
I can fly
I can do anything, yea, yea, yea
Anything I wanna do(Anything I wanna do)
Anything I wanna do(Anything I wanna do)
Anything I wanna do(Anything I wanna do)
I can do anything
I can fly
The lyrics of the song "I Believe I Can Fly" by Darrell Crawford speak of hope, self-belief, and perseverance. The verses reflect the singer's state of mind when he was at a low point and felt like he couldn't continue living. He had nothing but negativity surrounding him, and he thought life was full of misery. However, he found true love, which provided him with courage and support. He found hope in the "everlasting arms" he could lean on when times were tough.
The chorus is an anthem of self-belief and of making dreams come true through positivity. The singer expresses that if he can see a dream, he can achieve it with perseverance and self-belief. He believes he can fly and touch the sky if he sets his mind to it. The lines "I think about it every night and day, spread my wings and fly away" captures the essence of the song. It is an exhortation to dream big and never stop believing in oneself.
In the second verse, the singer says he was on the verge of breaking down, and sometimes the silence seemed so loud. He felt like the challenges were insurmountable, and he had a lot of goals he wanted to achieve. However, he realized that for him to achieve those goals, his journey had to start from within. He could not wait for external factors to make him successful; he had to believe in himself and his abilities.
