Metamorphosis Birthday Series I - I Wanna Fly

Posted By IreneB from Orlando, FL February 7, 2010

You can listen now to the first song of the Metamorphosis Birthday Series. In this case is I Wanna Fly, produced by Frankie Biggz and with lyrics by Frankie, Amy Hartwig and myself. This song is absolutely my favorite of the album, because it's very dear to me, talks about my struggles in Spain doing this kind of music. Not to mention that this song has a sample from my dear friend Jeff Lorber, from his song "Rain Dance". Also very beautiful because it has quotes from radio shows and podcasts that I was at. Here you have the lyrics of the song. Enjoy!

I WANNA FLY

(J. Lorber, F. Lucio, I. Bauzá, A. Hartwig)

Here’s a little story I’ve got to tell you

About the time my dreams almost fell through

Negativity all around me had me thinking

I could never make it

Always took it as a lesson to me

To only deal in reality

‘Cause no one would ever wanna take a chance on me

SEGWAY

And so I fantasize and metamorphosize

Thinking of ways that I could turn it around

And this is all that I wanna do right

I just can’t let this feeling go

Something’s telling me is now or never so

CHORUS

I wanna fly

I wanna fly and touch the sky

I wanna be a butterfly and just fly

I wanna fly I wanna

Spread my wings and let the wind take me so high

Because…

Life in Spain back then seemed hopeless

I was afraid, all alone and helpless

And even when I tried to ask some questions

Everybody had the same old answers:

“You’re too white for this, too fat for that

You’re from Barcelona, What’s up with that?”

It became pretty obvious I had to room to dream

SEGWAY

CHORUS

It doesn’t matter where I go

People all around me will

Have their own opinions

If I look to God I know

He will make a way for me to fly

CHORUS (x2)
