Flying Easy (1973), Lyrics

(Donny Hathaway, Walter Lowe, & Franklin Moss, Jr.)

We're flying high on a velvet sky,

With the wind on our wings

Climbing easily on the breeze

We're flying easy and we do just what we please

We drink the breezes as we drink wine,

And the nectar is sweet

Now the feeling we have is fine

We're flying easy drifting on a summer breeze

The trip is smooth and we gently glide

We ride the rainbow

And we see to a tee

How happy ya can be

To be free

We gather gold from the evening sun

And it's heavenly hues

And we don't have a thing to lose

We're flying easy and we do just what we choose

The trip is smooth and we gently glide

We ride the rainbow

And we see to a tee

How happy ya can be

To be free

float and there is no thought of time

Cause were singing of love

And the pleasure is so devine

We're flying easy not a worry on our mind

We're flying easy not a worry on our mind

We're flying easy on a breeze

Flying, flying

Flying
