I Believe I Can Fly
R.ケリー Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day (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 hoo

See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me, ho oh

If I can see it hoo, then I can be it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day (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
Oh, I believe I can fly hoo

Hey, 'cause I believe in me, oh

If I can see it hoo, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it hey

I believe I can fly hoo
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 can fly)
I believe I can fly (I can fly)
I believe I can fly (I can fly) hey

If I just spread my wings (I can fly)

Overall Meaning

R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly" is an inspirational anthem about striving and rising above adversity. The song begins with the singer's past struggles and how he used to doubt himself before finding the meaning of true love and faith in God. Now, he believes that he can achieve his dreams: if he can imagine it, then he can attain it through believing in himself.

Kelly then employs a metaphor of flying to describe the feeling of liberation that comes with having confidence in oneself. He chants, "I believe I can touch the sky," which represents breaking through a glass ceiling or reaching unimaginable heights that were previously beyond his reach. The repetition of the phrase "I believe I can fly" reinforces the idea of continuous faith in oneself and one's capabilities. He encourages others to have the same self-belief and confidence in their abilities.

The second verse touches on those low moments in life when everything seems hopeless and defeating, yet Kelly stresses the importance of persisting and believing in oneself despite the odds. The song's positive message resonates across different cultures, setting it apart as a classic anthem that has been adopted by many motivational speakers and institutions for various purposes.

Line by Line Meaning

I used to think that I could not go on
I once believed that I didn't have the strength to continue

And life was nothing but an awful song
Life seemed like an unpleasant experience

But now I know the meaning of true love
I have discovered what true love means

I'm leaning on the everlasting arms
I am relying on the support and comfort of my faith

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I have a clear vision of what I want, I have the capability to make it happen

If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
Belief in myself is the only thing holding me back from achieving greatness

I believe I can fly
I am completely confident in my ability to achieve my goals

I believe I can touch the sky
I am confident that I can reach for the stars and achieve anything

I think about it every night and day (night and day)
I am constantly preoccupied with thoughts of reaching my goals

Spread my wings and fly away
I am ready to take flight and achieve my potential

I believe I can soar
I am confident in my ability to surpass my own limitations

I see me running through that open door
I visualize myself taking advantage of new opportunities

See I was on the verge of breaking down
I was close to giving up hope

Sometimes silence can seem so loud
The absence of sound can feel overwhelming

There are miracles in life I must achieve
I have important goals to accomplish in my life

But first I know it starts inside of me, ho oh
I realize that I need to have faith in myself in order to succeed

Hey, 'cause I believe in me, oh
I have faith in my own abilities

If I can see it hoo, then I can do it
I am confident that anything I envision for myself can become a reality

I believe I can fly hoo
I am completely confident in my ability to achieve my goals

Hey, 'cause I believe in me, oh
I have faith in my own abilities

If I just spread my wings (I can fly)
If I am willing to take a risk and try something new, I can achieve great things

@@lauraw5183 I mean you could read the lyrics in the song and figure that out, but I’ll break it down for you. The song is about overcoming obstacles in life including self-doubt, hardships, etc.
“I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it”.

“See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
first I know it starts inside of me”.

Indeed, as you can see by the lyrics in the song that it is an attempt to inspire those who have had self-doubt, dealing with depression, loneliness, etc ; the song acknowledges that to overcome these hardships that the work will come from inside of you by putting in the work to make the necessary changes, “There are miracles in life I must achieve first I know it starts inside of me”. I argue that this quote in the second passage backs up my argument. I’m sure you can now see lyrics in the first passage as well.

Just to reiterate, my original comment that you were replying to specifically states, separate the Art from the Artist. It seems to me, that you are looking more into the Artist instead of the Art, and therefore, you were not seeing the inspiration in the Art because of the negativity surrounding the Artist.

I really hope you read my comment, think about it and reply back to me especially after I spent that long writing it out lmfao 🤣 😂

Also, because you cannot hear the tone in my voice or see me speaking it please let me stay at the none of my comment represents any negativity or any type of attack against you. Just to be honest I sometimes read comments that way and the person that wrote them did not intend that at all so I like to make that statement when I am replying to someone I do not personally know.

I just can't wrap my head around what R Kelly did. This man was given the gift of a beautiful voice that connected all races. Everybody on this planet loved his voice and what he had to say. In his song as it was so much spirituality and speaking about love and neighborhoods and connections. Throughout all that I thought that was him in those songs. It had to be because it was so damn good. Yet I must have been wrong, because now he's doing 30 years time in prison due to the fact that he performed sexual actions with underage girls. In my book that is just so wrong at every level. Those young girls have to live with that for the rest of their lives. Now he has to live in prison thinking about the wrong he did to all those young girls. Like everyone else is saying I am not here to judge. God will eventually judge him. For only God can just!!
