Let Me Fly Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't wanna live without living
I don't wanna wear a disguise
I don't wanna keep on pretending
Just living a lie
Every day the pressure is building
Every night I'm howling at the moon
Feeling like the wolves are just closing in
What can I do?

[Chorus]
So let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly
If I don't try, I will never know
Let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly
See how far I can go

[Verse 2]
None of us is born to be prisoners
But some of us end up in a cell
What if we were born to be a witness
Living is the only way to tell

[Chorus]
So let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly
If I don't try, I will never know
Let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly
See how far I can go
And let me dream, let me dream, let me dream
I can be who I wanna be
Let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly
See how high I can go
[Bridge]
Funny thing is
Make a wish and
Hope it counts for something
Standing here
And I'm looking down
Not afraid to fall

[Chorus]
So let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly
If I don't try, I will never know
Let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly
See how far I can go
And let me dream, let me dream, let me dream
I can be who I wanna be
Let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly
See how high I can go
So let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly
If I don't try, I will never know
Let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly
See how far I can go
And let me dream, let me dream, let me dream
I can be who I wanna be
Let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly
See how high I can go
So let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly
If I don't try, I will never know
Let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly
See how far I can go
[Outro]
And let me dream, let me dream, let me dream
I can be who I wanna be

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
