I duct-taped all my wounds up and I sucked up the pain I rode my deadly treadly right into the night I thought there's no point in sleepin', I'm up and about I think that I'll go out and try to fly I, I think that I can fly I pumped my back tire back up and I reset my chain I had the burnin' desire to ignite the flame inside my frames As I rode down deadly downs and let go of my handlebars And spread my arms out wide I, I think that I can fly I, I think that I can fly I duct-taped all my wounds up and I sucked up the pain Engraved the words and date in the tombstone of my grave And it read, "Ain't got a long time, there is no right time" How long's a lifetime? How long's a long time? Long enough to blink and eye and think that you can fly From March 12, 1994 to I think that I can fly
