[Verse 1] I seen a mule outrun a motor, I seen a snowflake survive July, I seen a one-eyed gambler bet it all, But I never seen a human fly. I seen a catfish climb a mountain, I seen a grown man sit and cry, I seen the whole world say "it can't be done", Cause no one ever saw a human fly. Well when I see a human fly, Way up past the blue of sky, With nothing but his will and soul, And his arms stretched open wide, Then I'll say "my friend, it's true, The impossible can come true," Oh, when I see a human fly.[Chorus] [Verse 2] Now you can keep your airplanes, Keep your rockets burning bright, It ain't the engine, ain't the science, That teaches a heavy heart to feel light. You gotta unlearn all that weight, son, All that "you can't, you shouldn't, you won't try", You gotta jump before you're ready, That's the only way a human flies. [Swing Break] Oh, I've seen a kindness move a mountain, Seen a small man touch the sky, Seen a prayer do more than thunder, Seen a whisper win when the loud men lie, So don't you tell me it can't happen, Don't you call it just a dream... [Verse 3 - Slow, Inspirational Build] One morning, not far from now, A boy will stand on a rooftop high, Not to fall, not to tumble, But to finally claim the sky. He won't ask permission from gravity, He won't wait for wings to grow, He'll step out like he owns forever, And the wind will finally know. [Big Finale Chorus] When I see a human fly, Oh Lord, what a day that will be, When the shadow leaves the sidewalk, And a man is finally free, Every chain we thought we needed, Will rust and fall behind, Oh glory, hallelujah, When I see a human fly. When I see a human fly, When I see a human fly, I'll know that you and I, And every dreamer still alive, Can fly.
