Flying
Mya Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Well, well, well

I've got a fear of flying on a plane
'Cause we've got no say on how it ends up
Well, in my mind love's the very same way
That's why I never give my heart to no one
I never take a chance on a love
That lifts me off the ground, oh yeah (oh yeah)
I cling to earthbound things
But I wanna spread my wings somehow, somehow

I've got a fear of flying high
But I'm prepared to spread my wings, oh
It's all in my mind
Love defies all gravity, yeah
Voices in the wind
I can hear them welcome me to fly
Think I'm flying now
Flying now, flying now (I wanna fly, I wanna fly)

Listen
I've been in love but I fell too fast
I found myself in turbulent skies
I felt the hurt when I crashed and burned
Then I found myself with tears in my eyes
But when you look at me
Something says it's gonna be alright (gonna be alright)
Alright (will be alright)
And all my fears I'll face
'Cause I think I'm gonna take this flight, oh (gonna this flight)
(Will take this flight)

I've got a fear of flying high
But I'm prepared to spread my wings, oh, yeah, yeah
It's all in my mind
Love defies all gravity, I
Voices in the wind
I can hear them welcome me to fly
Think I'm flying now
Flying now, flying now (I wanna fly, I wanna fly)

Suddenly, something
Beyond the clouds is calling me
And your love to me is like therapy
For my soul
So I'm ready to soar

Fear of flying high
Spread my wings
It's all in my mind
Love defies all gravity
Voices in the wind
I can hear them welcome me, yeah, yeah
Flying now, flying now (I wanna fly, I wanna fly)

Think I'm flying now
Think I'm, think I'm
Think I'm flying now
Think I'm, think I'm (spread my wings)
Think I'm flying now
Think I'm, think I'm (spread my wings)
Think I'm flying now, flying now, flying now

Fear of flying high (gotta face my fears)
Think I'm, think I'm (gotta face my fears)
It's all in my mind
Think I'm, think I'm (oh, yeah, oh yeah, oh yes I am)
Voices in the wind
Think I'm, think I'm (oh, yes, I can)
Think I'm flying now, flying now, flying now
Fear of flying high
Think I'm, think I'm (alright)
It's all in my mind (everything's gonna be alright)
Think I'm, think I'm (alright)
Voices in the wind
Think I'm, think I'm (well, well, well)
Think I'm flying now, flying now, flying now
Fear of flying high
Think I'm, think I'm
It's all in my mind
Think I'm, think I'm
Voices in the wind (think I'm flying now)




Think I'm, think I'm
Think I'm flying now, flying now, flying now
