How It Feels to Fly Lyrics
Have you ever felt so strong,
That it made you feel weak?
Long days, long nights, and you just cant sleep
Have you ever been so sure,
That it gave you cold feet?
Gotcha floating on air, you can feel your heart beat
Well I never knew this feeling ever
Now I hope it stays and lasts forever
I am running
I don't wanna come down,
Hope my wings don't fail me now
And if I can touch the sky
I'd risk the fall
Just to know how it feels to fly
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Have you ever felt so lost,
But didn't know 'til you were found
Lookin' everywhere but you finally see now
In a room full of people,
You feel like no one's around
Gotcha head in the clouds and your feet are off the ground
Say I never knew this feeling ever
Now I hope it stays and lasts forever
I am running
I don't wanna come down
Hope my wings don't fail me now
And if I can touch the sky
I'd risk the fall
Just to know how it feels to fly
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
We got to go
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Higher
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,)
Higher
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
High!
I am running
I don't wanna come down
Hope my wings don't fail me now
And if I can touch the sky
I'd risk the fall
Just to know how it feels to fly
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah

Wowwww...I can't believe there is no comment yet.
Personally I think it's one of the best songs off the new album.. actually, one of the best of Alicia Keys.
So inspirational and uplifting.
This song helps me concentrate on the positive things in my life, not the negative things.
i totally agree. This is probably my favourite off the new album "In a room full of people, You feel like no one's around Gotcha head in the clouds and your feet are off the ground" this is my favourite bit. I can completely relate to this!
I agree with you both. itz an outstanding song. i sung this song at a talent show and felt tears comin out my eyes! i won too!
I too am surprised at how little comments there are on such a beautiful song.
"Have you ever felt so strong, That it made you feel weak?" ^I love how this appears to be contradictory but explains love perfectly - it's the only thing you can feel so strongly that it makes you weak and dependent.
"Have you ever felt so lost, But didn't know 'til you were found" ^Has anyone ever found you and you wondered how you ever lived without them? You don't ever consider there is anything to fix (because you have become accustomed) until they come in and mend it.
"In a room full of people, You feel like no one's around" ^Yes. Caught up in your own thoughts and know no-one else could possibly understand and you could never explain.
