John Legend - When You Can Fly lyrics

Frogs gonna leap gators gonna bite
A gray wolf pack is gonna rule the night
A mountain lion's never been
Afraid of heights
But it's better when you can fly

Gonna play
The rooster can cock-a doodle doo all day
Catfish can swim, but I bet they'd say
It's better when you can fly

The view from the blue sky
It looks so good when you're up high
The blues come 'round, they won't get me down
I can make my escape

I'm not sly like a fox
Don't sting like a bee
A grizzly won't ever run away from me
I think of all the things
They could never see
It's better when you can fly

The view from the blue sky
It looks so good when you're up high
The blues come 'round, they won't get me down
I can make my escape

I'm not sly like a fox
Don't bite like a flea
A grizzly won't ever run away from me
I think of all the things
They could never see
It's better when you can fly

Oh, the view from the blue sky
It looks so good when you're up high
The blues come 'round, they won't get me down
I can make my escape

Oh, everybody sings but not like me
The air's much better here above the trees
Look up in the sky, I'm a sight to see
It's better when you can fly

Oh, the view from the blue sky
It looks so good when you're up high
Oh, but when I'm down, won't you come around?
Help me make my escape

No matter how high a crow can go
There's gonna come a time when
He's brought down low
Oh, hit rock bottom, and I just don't know
If it's better when you can fly
