Donny Hathaway
Flying Easy (Live at Carnegie Hall, New York City, June 30, 1973)
[Intro]
Now, it gives me great pleasure to present to you, one of the great Black vocalists of our time, Mr. Donny Hathaway
One, two, three, four, five, two, two, three
[Verse 1]
We're flying high on a velvet sky
With the wind on our wings
Climbing easily on the breeze
We're flying easy and we do just what we please
We drink the breezes as we drink wine, and the nectar is sweet
Now the feeling we have is fine
We're flying easy drifting on a summer breeze
[Bridge]
The trip is smooth and we gently glide
We ride the rainbow and we see to a tee
How happy we can be to be free
[Verse 2]
We gather gold from the evening sun
And it's heavenly hues
And we don't have a thing to lose
We're flying easy and we do just what we choose
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Mmm, the trip is smooth and we gently glide
We ride the rainbow and we see to a tee
How happy it can be to be free
[Outro]
We float and there is no thought of time
'Cause we're singing of love
The pleasure is so divine
We're flying easy with not a worry on our mind
We're flying easy with not a worry on our mind
We're flying easy on a breeze
Flying, flying, flying
