Well I’m flyin’ high
And I know the reason why
‘Cause the wind of change has blown my way
And you love me as much today
As I love you

I used to think that love was strange
It was something that I used to ease the pain
Though at times it seems it hurts to touch
It’s never gonna hurt as much as
No love at all

Flyin’ high it’s a crazy feelin’
Flyin’ high ’cause I’ve learnt the meaning of love
Flyin’ high it’s a crazy feelin’
Flyin’ high ’cause I believe in love
