Carey, Mariah - Fly Like A Bird Lyrics






Somehow I know that
There's a place up above
With no more hurt and struggling
Free of all atrocities and suffering
Because I feel the unconditional love
From one who cares enough for me
To erase all my burdens
And let me be free to

[chorus]
Fly like a bird
Take to the sky
I need you now Lord
Carry me high
Don't let the world break me tonight
I need the strength of you by my side
Sometimes this life can be so cold
I pray you'll come and carry me home

Can we recover
Will the world ever be
A place of peace and harmony
With no war and with no brutality
If we loved each other
We would find victory
But in this harsh reality
Sometimes I'm so despondant
That I feel the need to

[chorus]
Fly like a bird
Take to the sky
I need You now Lord
Carry me high
Don't let the world break me tonight
I need the strength of You by my side
Sometimes this life can be so cold
I pray You'll come and carry me home

Keep your head to the sky
With God's love you'll survive

Fly like a bird
Take to the sky
I need you now Lord
Carry me high
Don't let the world break me tonight
I need the strength of You by my side

Sometimes this life can be so cold
I pray You'll come and carry me home
Carry me higher, higher, higher
Carry me higher, higher, higher
Carry me home
Higher Jesus
Carry me higher Lord

  27. F.... O....

    WAITTT, the whistle at the end "Jesus" is the same as in the studio version.... I thought it was live....

    (I'm writing this comment so that someone tells me it's live because now I'm sad)

    F.... O....

    I think it's different it's clearer that she actually says "higher Jesus"

  28. A.... S....

    It feels like no one cares about this performance but it's literally better than anything I've seen in the Grammy's in years.

  40. R.... H....

    When you realize she's lipsyncing ... im done.

    R.... H....

    She's not.

    R.... H....

    @Roberto de Freitas Soares she is on the latter part of each songs

    R.... H....

    Red Horses the only part she might have lip synced is the we belong together climax (i think its live though) the rest of it is fully live.

    R.... H....

    @Roberto de Freitas Soares tf u talkin about

  41. V.... R....

    I wish I looked this good but I guess I’ll have to rely on cosmetic surgery.

  44. D.... H....

    I’d never look down again if she asked me to keep my head up 3:27

  45. E.... C....

    I was so fortunate to have seen this when it came out I almost died . She slayed like always

  49. Y.... ....

    melhor performance da carreira 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

  50. S.... ....

    ONLY Mariah could pull this off. Lovee her.

  51. T.... t....

    Lol syncing at end

    T.... t....

    Timmy tim no

    T.... t....

    No she wasn't

  52. T.... t....

    Her switching hands all-time distracted me

  53. M.... S....

    This isn’t lipsync. You can clearly see how her enunciation matches the shape of her mouth. Or how her mouth perfectly lines up with the vowel modification on the runs. And of course, the strain. She’s pushing herself to belt out the notes, which is good but you’ll end up disregarding breath support. She’s having breathing problems when hitting the high notes, which shows where she’s currently focusing on. Also the rasp on her nodules is especially evident here, unlike the other pre-recorded tracks where they still add but minimise the rasp to add the effect of being live.

    She’s making those iconic hand movements again, which shows struggle physically to not show struggle vocally. Her neck also stiffens. Need anymore evidence? Go Mariah!

  54. n.... ....

    shes channeling him, it's confirmed. 4:51

  55. b.... ....

    Decades of honing her craft, since she was a little girl with a big dream. amazingly polished singer, the best ever along with beloved whitney houston, a God sent indeed! Love you forever Mimi

  56. O.... H....

    I love her voice.

  57. T.... ....

    😍😍😍

  58. C.... S....

    Anyone else notice when the pre recorded part comes in before the big notes at the end 🤣🤣🤣

  59. H.... t....

    People should remember that mariah is bad lip syncing. This was definitely live

  60. 1.... ....

    🦋ICONIC🦋

  61. K.... J....

    💯💯💯

  62. U.... D....

  63. E.... F....

    Some singers probably can hit those notes but not as beautiful as the Original, that is why i love her. Not just hitting notes but keep it sounded beautifully. the one and only, The Queen Mariah Carey.!!

    E.... F....

    Ari Kurniadi I agree. I have a cover of Fly Like a Bird on my page with whistles. I am still practicing to get it right. Mariah made it seem so effortlessly.

    E.... F....

    Taylor Harris wow you did? Amazing

    E.... F....

    Ari Kurniadi Thank you. It took years to even get the confidence to record my voice.

  64. T.... M....

    When Mariah turned the Grammys into church ⛪️ 😂

  65. T.... ....

    She's like Marmite lol you either love her or dislike 🤔

  66. L.... N....

    Srsly? Who the eff are these 126 people who disliked this video?!

  67. E.... M....

    Her little imperfections made the song more emotional😍

  68. J.... S....

    I agree Mariah lips a lot but omg not this one ... she went full force bitch

  69. Y.... _....

    This was absolutely live! U can’t lip sync at the Grammys!!

  70. L.... A....

    Puts...PERFEITA

  71. W.... A....

    ❤️❤️😍

  72. K.... B....

    Mariah sang pretty good, but she was struggling to sing louder and in tune. The choir was drowning her out.

  73. G.... B....

    she sucks now

  74. K.... D....

    Is it me ,or is that randy Jackson playing the guitar ?.

    K.... D....

    Bass. And yes.

  75. J.... V....

    Sia >>>>>> Mariah Carey 👊


    https://youtu.be/wm-joJOeZpE

  76. Z.... C....

    Gosh I love this. But her breath control sounded like she just came from a jog, had a wardrobe fitting and jumped on stage. I dont think she lipped this though if you go to 4:38 you'll see her singing was a little affected by the running. Like it's so obvious all that fire was real😂☀️☀️☀️

  77. K.... S....

    My favorite performance of Mariah. Irremplacable.

  78. S.... S....

    2005-2006 is the time when Mariah regained 90% of her vocal prowess. This is the same time where people claimed she had her 2nd prime. Needless today, Mariah's voice today is much more powerful compared to any popstars on the charts. Fight me!

  79. J.... P....

    Eu vim por causa do DIOGO PARÓDIAS MAIS ALGUÉM É BR????

  80. J.... B....

    Quem veio pelo gif

  81. E.... O....

    I mean, doesn't seem like FLAB was lippped.
    She's terrible at lipsynching, so...

  82. J.... L....

    She looks like one of a greek mythology

    And i almost believe that she is because of her voice.

  83. A.... S....

    2019 ❤️❤️❤️❤️

  84. c.... ....

    Mother brought the mother fucking house down honey!!!

  85. V.... V....

    Surreal

  86. C.... T....

    The choir director is COGIC 😅

  87. W.... S....

    LEGENDARY HANDS DOWN PERFORMANCE you a fool to forget or not remember this PERFORMANCE

  88. A.... P....

    I literally watch this performance EVERY FKIN DAY. She gives me life

  89. w.... m....

    4:31 no need for electric guitar to give the effect

  90. x.... c....

    It is not good at all~ I Just listen to this 10 times a day~

  91. C.... P....

    I still say 1:30 was a good vocal for her!

  92. S.... H....

    Come back come back lol!!!

  93. C.... G....

    people be talking about her lipsyncing in this performance because they can't take the fact how amazing her voice is like "fuck this is so good, can't be live" but here we are SHE'S SINGING IT LIVE. PERIODT.

  94. f.... m....

    ok guys PLEASE how was she effortlessly slaying the upper belts on the WBT climax and suddenly goes off key & struggles to hit the last note? then hits a G#5 on FLAB like it was nothing? nodules? no that's not how nodules work, honey. mariah was lip syncing and there's nothing wrong with that, she had been in the industry for 16 years by that time and still could outshine everybody else, she didn't have to sing it live cuz she had already proven she was the greatest.

  95. R.... B....

    Uns de seus melhores lives👑🦋
