Now I Can Fly ©2025 Robert George
When temptation lures me with silky guile
Strength will overflow my weakness like the Nile
He who died and then arose
Is a refuge and repose
For we who cry
Like a wing through a shell
I escaped this world’s spell
And now I can fly
The kingdom of desire is a land of Nod
Its gates are crocodile jaws to a man of God
He who died and then arose
Is a refuge and repose
For we who cry
Like a wing through a shell
I escaped this world’s spell
And now I can fly
To its eternal fame
Kindness refers to the Lord
To its infernal shame
Blindness defers to the sword
But he who died and then arose
Is a refuge and repose
For we who cry
Like a wing through a shell
I escaped this world’s spell
And now I can fly
Now I can fly
I will fight and overcome the ancient dragon
I will sip forever from a golden flagon…
Like a wing through a shell
I escaped this world’s spell
And now I can fly
Now I can fly
Now I can fly…
When temptation lures me with silky guile
Strength will overflow my weakness like the Nile
He who died and then arose
Is a refuge and repose
For we who cry
Like a wing through a shell
I escaped this world’s spell
And now I can fly
The kingdom of desire is a land of Nod
Its gates are crocodile jaws to a man of God
He who died and then arose
Is a refuge and repose
For we who cry
Like a wing through a shell
I escaped this world’s spell
And now I can fly
To its eternal fame
Kindness refers to the Lord
To its infernal shame
Blindness defers to the sword
But he who died and then arose
Is a refuge and repose
For we who cry
Like a wing through a shell
I escaped this world’s spell
And now I can fly
Now I can fly
I will fight and overcome the ancient dragon
I will sip forever from a golden flagon…
Like a wing through a shell
I escaped this world’s spell
And now I can fly
Now I can fly
Now I can fly…
