Ladies and Gentlemen, what you are about to hear
Is the untold story of how a girl just disappeared
You see, she wasn't one of them.
No, not the girl thought of now and then
She had quite a dream, that nobody believed in
But, she knew what she had so she started to sing.
She sang and she sang, 'till someone heard her voice
That someone was in the sky, that someone was named God
He gave her that voice, and showed her how to use it
He looked her in the eye, and taught her how to fly
One time, one moment (no)
Two times, they told me
Told me to stop that, what I'm doing
They told me to stop that, stop trying
They said, you should go to uni, get a job (ehhh)
You will get more money, I don't really care about that (no i don't)
I don't really think about that like you do
But, you can watch me win a Grammy
I'mma bring it back
Tell you not to stab another person in the back
Let a girl dream, let her do her thing
Just because you can't see it
Don't mean it ain't for me
Of course, I did not know how to tell them
I sat back and listened to all of the negative words they said
I could not pretend, so I called on God (dear Lord)
I wish I could fly
Over towns and through all of the clouds
Won't you give me wings
Teach me how to follow the wind
I just want to see all the things you've put in place for me
Oh please show me how (ladies and gentlemen)
I should probably give you something here to think about
A wise man, the one man, most dope of them all said
"Be you, and you'll be fine"
But, I'mma be better than fine, here's why
I can live on bread and water for a month (for a month)
I don't need a fancy car I've got one (Max)
I don't need a degree from a big Uni
To show you how much music means to me
I want to see the world, want to see the king set you free
I'mma see it all because He put the dream inside me
I'm gon' be me, I'll be fine
"Be you and you will be fine"
I just want to fly again
I wish I could fly
Over towns and through all of the clouds
Won't you give me wings
Teach me how to follow the wind
I just want to see all the things you've put in place for me
Oh please show me how (ladies and gentlemen)
