Here I am flying
Looking down at mother earth below
Above me only blue skies
Below me is a cotton candy world
Here I am dreaming
Plane I’m on flies gently as a bird
Captain said something
But I never heard single word
Here I am flying
Look above you
I’ll be watching you
Maybe you won’t see me
But soon I’ll be flying
Soon I’ll be flying home to you
Gazing at the sunrise
Homeland sure looks green far down below
Now we’re almost landed
I can see the hostess by the door
Here I am flying
Look above you
I’ll be watching you
Maybe you won’t see me
But soon I’ll be flying
Soon I’ll be flying home to you
Won’t be long ’till I see
Bridges on our river
Looking at the old familiar lights
Won’t be long ’till we’ll be
Making up for countless sleepless nights
Here I am flying
Looking down at mother earth below
Above me only blue skies
Below me is a cotton candy world
Here I am flying
Look above you
I’ll be watching you
Maybe you won’t see me
But soon I’ll be flying
Soon I’ll be flying home to you

About Lyrics and Flying by Nazareth

When you decide to study the lyrics to Flying, you're looking at the words, verses and background chorus from the 1976 song by Nazareth. Some of the lyrics to Flying have clear meanings and some contain metaphorical references. Like most songs, only Nazareth and their collaborators know the full story behind any of the their songs.

You can understand the lyrics to Flying if you take apart the structure of the words. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Flying" means the words set to the music of Flying, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Nazareth. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Flying and the lyrics to Flying are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Nazareth who came here looking just for the lyrics to Flying, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
