I have watched this video several times, but this is my first comment. It is very humbling to hear such a fine choir singing this song that I wrote several years ago for the students in my own choir at Hornell (NY) H.S. It is also rewarding to read the comments of so many who have sung the piece in their own choirs and have happy memories of it. Thank you, gentlemen, for a sensitive musical performance. It is beautiful to listen to.
my school choir is singing this song for our spring concert lol, this is middle school level and an adult level choir is doing it, but they totally beasted it!! IT WAS AWESOME, IM AN ALTO WOO!!!
I sing this in my girls' choir and its beautiful. This song just touches my heart! I love the part "like that bird up in the sky, life has tought me how to fly". idk y but its amazing.
Our school choir performed this (in English) two nights ago in the Royal Albert Hall!!! And we are now representing the UK in the choir Olympics in Austria in July......
hey we sang this song in the ESF 2007 Choral Concert and believe me u would not believe how many parents were cryin it was so sweet everybody from ESF Schools singin
my chorus is singing that this year and i just think that the piano piece is just so beautiful... does anybody know a place where i can se a vid of the piano version of "Flying Free by Don Besig?
WAIT! The 3rd line is "and look beyond the things I've i've know, and dream that that I can be. Like a a bird above the trees. gliding gently on the breeze." That's all I remember. ^^ Sorry
or dream so long that life is through so lifes a song that i must sing a gift of love i must share and when i see the joy it brings my spirits soar through the air like that bird up in the sky life has taught (??spelling) me how to fly for now i know what i can be and now my heart is flying free...oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
"there is a place i call my own where i can stand by the sea and look beyond the things ive known and dream that i might be free
like a bird above the trees gliding gently on the breeze i wish that all my life id be without a care and flying free but life is not a distant sky without a cloud without rain
and i can never hope that i can travel on without pain
time goes swiftly on its way all too soon weve lost today i cannot wait for skies of blue more down there

So life's a song that I must sing,
A gift of love I must share .
And when I see the joy it brings,
My spirits soar through the air.
Like that bird up in the sky ,
Life has taught me how to fly.
For now I know what I can be
And now my heart is flying free!
ploki777 4 years ago
But life is not a distant sky
Without a cloud, without rain.
And I can never hope that I
Can travel on without pain
Time goes swiftly on its way,
All too soon we've lost today.
I cannot wait for skies of blue
Or dream so long that life is through.
ploki777 4 years ago
oooo.....
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.
Like the bird above the trees
Gliding gently on the breeze,
I wish that all my life I'd be
Without a care and flying free!

I remember bits and pieces from when my school chorus sang it.
the beginning is
"there is a place I call my own
when I stand by the sea
and (i think it said something about a dream)
The 1st chorus is :
"like a bird up in the trees
(ooh oooh ooh)
gliding gently on the breeze
(ooh ooh ooh)"
