Cake Day Lyrics
"I Wanna Fly" by Errol Ranville — sung by candlelight at every How It Works Group Cake Day celebration. Selected at the first group conscience meeting on October 10, 1991 and a beloved tradition ever since.
“I Want to Fly”
by Errol Ranville
I’m going to lay my weight down at your feet
And rest here for a while
I’m feeling low, Lord I feel defeat
I feel I’ve just walked my last mile
So I’ll rest here for a while
I’m hiding from the street
I’ve been to church, Lord I’ve been to school
But I couldn’t find You there
But I defied them, I broke all the rules
I just didn’t seem to care
When I couldn’t find You there
Oh Lord, I’ve been a fool
I wanna fly like a free bird flies
There’s a blue sky calling me
Then I know that I’ll always be
In the shelter of Your smile
You are with me all the while
Waiting patiently
Some call it karma, some folks call it fate
They say one day you’ll understand
When you’re down its all one big mistake
Lord I finally understand
You can take me by the hand
And lead me all the way
I wanna fly like a free bird flies
There’s a blue sky calling me
Then I know that I’ll always be
In the shelter of Your smile
You are with me all the while
Waiting patiently
I wanna fly like a free bird flies
There’s a blue sky calling me
Then I know that I’ll always be
In the shelter of Your smile
You are with me all the while
Waiting patiently
In the shelter of Your smile
You are with me all the while
Waiting patiently
