I'm Gonna Fly by Amy Grant

[MontanaTheta]

Hello all you lovely Thetas out there! I am in the process of finalizing our fall 2008 recruitment plans and we are trying to include the song "I'm Gonna Fly" by Amy Grant into our preference ceremony, but we are missing some of the sheet music? Do any of y'all have it? Our "Work Week" starts August 18, so that would be when we have our resident pianist and soloist learn it if able. I would appreciate hearing back from you! If you don't have this song, what are some other pieces y'all have performed during preference?

Theta Love & Mine!

I found these off a website

All of my friends are happy to stay
Here in this yard day after day
But something inside me has called me away
I don't understand but I know I can't stay

I'm gonna fly
No one knows where
But I'm gonna fly
I'm lighter than air

Cause I have felt for the first time
I can be myself
No more faces to hide behind
Just a smile and a dream that's mine
Even if I am the only one who wants to fly

I'm gonna fly
No one knows where
But I'm gonna fly
I'll soar thru the air

All of my life seems I've waited
For the time to start
Being the person inside of me
Unafraid of being me
No more faces to hide behind
Just a smile and a dream that's mine
Even if I am the only one who wants to fly

If I had my life to live over again
I'd run barefoot, relax a bit more
And I'd talk to my children
And I'd learn how they laugh
And I'd teach them how I've learned to fly

Cause all my life seems I've waited
For the time to start
Being this person inside of me
Unafraid of being me
Even if I am the only one who wants to fly
I'm gonna fly




~I don't know if that is what you were looking for though! I know most Amy Grant songs, but this one must a be an oldy...

Thanks so much for looking!
we have the lyrics, we just need the sheet music or a recording, so we can learn how it goes.

I can't find a copy of the sheet music, but the song is on The Collection, which came out in 1986. Maybe if you have a gifted musician in your chapter she can learn it by ear.

Good luck with your pref. We had a member who played violin, and the song was beautiful with piano and violin when we did it for our ceremony.
