FLYING
Lethbridge, AB, May 1984
Since the beginning of man, he has wanted to fly. Many of us have had sleep dreams of flying by faith, powered by believing we can be airborne.
And so it is! We CAN fly, or at least are meant to do so, in a way physical flying can’t compare. God gives us that power in our relationship with Him whereby our spirits soar.
While this song was written in 1984, it didn’t begin to be fulfilled until after the Great Fast our community had in 2014. Many people were taken away and the music production got going in earnest after Paul Cohen left in September 2017.
Music & Lyrics by Victor N. Hafichuk
Flying…
For the first time I am flying!
It’s what I’ve always dreamed of…
Freedom…
What I’ve always longed for!
Now I really have it…
Airborne…
A worm I am in blossom!
Mounting like a pretty
Flutterby, away up high
Up in the sky…
I am now an eagle
In the heights of Heaven
I can soar forever and ever and a day
Away, away…
Flying…
Finally I’m flying…
Yes, I am flying.
(Song repeats after a solo instrumental)
Voler
Paroles et musique par Victor N. Hafichuk
Voler…
Pour la première fois, je vole !
C’est ce dont j’ai toujours rêvé…
Liberté…
Ce que j’ai toujours désiré !
Maintenant je l’ai vraiment…
Suspendu dans les airs…
Un ver, je suis en fleur !
Montant comme un beau
Flutterby, au loin très haut
Haut dans le ciel…
Maintenant je suis un aigle
Sur les hauteurs des Cieux
Je peux survoler pour toujours et toujours et un jour
Au loin, au loin…
Voler…
Enfin je vole…
Oui, je vole…
(La chanson est répétée après un instrumental en solo)
Voando…
Pela primeira vez, estou voando!
É o que eu sempre sonhei…
Liberdade…
O que eu sempre desejei
Agora, eu realmente a tenho…
Em vôo…
Uma larva eu sou no florescer
Preparando-me para ser uma linda
Flutterby, e voar bem alto
Lá no céu…
Agora sou uma águia
No alto dos Céus
Posso voar para sempre e sempre e mais um dia
Longe, longe…
Voando…
Finalmente estou voando…
Sim, estou voando.
(Música repete depois de um solo instrumental)
