John Legend — When You Can Fly

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 [Film Interlude] 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
