Reading and Writing

Task 2
Read the lyrics and answer the following questions!
I Believe I Can Fly
I used to think that I could not go on I believe I can soar
And life was nothing but an awful song I see me running through that open door
But now I know the meaning of true love I believe I can fl y
I’m leaning on the everlasting arms I believe I can fl y
If I can see it, then I can do it I believe I can fl y
If I just believe it, there’s nothing to it See I was on the verge of breaking down
I believe I can fl y Sometimes silence can seem so loud
I believe I can touch the sky There are miracles in life I must achieve
I think about it every night and day But fi rst I know it starts inside of me
Spread my wings and fl y away Sung by R. Kelly, taken from www.metrolyrics.com
