The Song: Flying Free




Flying Free is a song that expresses the joy of freedom and the hope of achieving one's dreams. The lyrics are written by Don Besig and Nancy Price, his long-time collaborator. The song begins with a solo or unison section that introduces the main theme: "There is a place I call my own, where I can stand by the sea, and look beyond the things I've known, and dream that I might be free." The song then transitions to a three-part harmony that builds up to a climactic chorus: "Like a bird above the harbor gliding through the sky, I am flying free, and in my mind I know I can go anywhere I choose to go, if I can dream it I can do it, for I was born to fly, I am flying free!" The song repeats the chorus with a modulation and ends with a soft coda that echoes the opening line.
