Story Behind the Song
I had a vivid dream about flying, which inspired this song. It describes my dream exactly. I just raised my arms, and the wind carried me up. I steered with slight movements of my hand. I kept looking for my wife, so she could join me. I never found her, but I saw other couples flying together. Boy, would I like someone to interpret that one!
Lyrics
The winds are blowing down by the lake.
And I’m drawn there by the sounds they make.
Through sunset eyes, I see the glow
Of crowning waves, as winds they blow.
I feel the wind is wanting me
To lift up high above the trees.
With open arms, I start to rise,
And feel the wind, and touch the sky.
I’m flying. I’m flying.
And I’m seeing, like never before.
I’m flying, and I’m trying
To find you. I need you so.
The clouds are passing through my face.
And little motions steer with grace.
Have I become a timeless flyer?
Looking up, I go higher.
Like spirits gliding through the air,
The others join in loving pairs.
And me alone, although serene,
I need a little flying queen.
I’m flying. I’m flying.
And I’m seeing, like never before.
I’m flying, and I’m trying
To find you. I need you so.
The sun is shining through the clouds.
And streaks of light are all around.
And just when I was almost there,
I woke up dreaming in a stare.
I’m flying. I’m flying.
And I’m seeing, like never before.
I’m flying, and I’m trying
To find you. I need you so.
