Michael Byrd the Flying Man

I got a feeling 'bout today
Cause things are okay
It feels like everything is going my way

I got the wind in my sails
My feathers straight in my tail
I'm setting out on that open skyway
Nothing here can ever hold me down

It's time for Michael to fly
I'm gonna take to the sky
Today's the day that I'm making history

They said it couldn't be done
Well I'll show everyone
From now on flying will be no mystery
Time for me to spread my wings and fly

I'm Michael Byrd, the flying man
I'm gonna soar from California all the way to Japan
I'm gonna change the world real soon, you'll see
I promise everybody will remember me

I got a feeling things are fine
I love my design
Today I'll give the world aviation

It's gonna change everything
And people will sing
My praises all across every nation
"He's the man who got us off the ground!"

The world won't seem quite as big
When they zag and they zig
Whether for traveling or combatant

Soon men will zoom through the air
And they'll go anywhere
As soon as I can secure my patent

Then I'll be remembered for all time!

I'm Michael Byrd, the flying man
I'm gonna soar from California all the way to Japan
I'm gonna change the world real soon, you'll see
I promise everybody will remember me

I heard the news broadcast today
Guess I was too late
Last week Orville and Wilbur beat me to it

I guess I waited too long
If they're Wright then I'm wrong
I took my time and I guess I blew it
But even if I don't get all the fame

I'm Michael Byrd, the flying man
I'm gonna soar from California all the way to Japan
I'm may not change the world but that's okay
I made my own machine so I can fly away!
That's right!

I'm Michael Byrd, the flying man
I'll soar from Germany to Buffalo to Pakistan
And if there's any place you wanna see
Just say the word and come and fly away with me!
