I (C)used to think that I could not go (Fm6)on,

and (C)life was noth ing but an aw ful (Fm6)song.

But (C)now I know the mean ing of true (Fm6)love,

I’m (C)lean ing on the ev er last ing (Fm6)arms.

(E)If I can (Am7)see it,

then I can (Fm6)do it.

If I just be (C)lieve it,

there’s noth ing (F)to it.

I be lieve I can (C)fly.

I be lieve I can (Am7add11)touch the sky.

I think a bout it ev ’ry (Dm7)night and day;

spread my wings and (F)fly a way.

I be (E7)lieve I can (Am7)soar;

I see me run ning through that (Fm6)o pen door.

I be lieve I can (C)fly,

I be lieve I can (Fm6)fly,

I be lieve I can (Am7)fly.

See, (C)I was on the verge of break ing (Fm6)down.

Some

(C)times si lence can seem so (Fm6)loud.

There

but (C)first I know it starts in side of (Fm6)me.

(Fm6)be

(C)fly.

I be lieve I can (Am7add11)touch the sky.

I think a bout it ev ’ry (Dm7)night and day;

spread my wings and (F)fly a way.

I be (E7)lieve I can (Am7)soar;

I see me run ning through that (Fm6)o pen door.

I be lieve I can (C)fly,

I be lieve I can (Fm6)fly,

I be lieve I can (Am7)fly.

See, (Fm6)fly,

’Cause I be lieve in (C)you,

About “I Believe I Can Fly”

Why does the accompaniment for "I Believe I Can Fly" show falling notes?
Falling Notes makes each chord visual — colored notes drop onto the keyboard so you can FEEL the rhythm of the backing before each entry. Singers find it easier to lock in with the piano's groove when they see the chord notes land instead of just hearing them.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "I Believe I Can Fly" by R. Kelly in?
The backing track is in C at 69 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "I Believe I Can Fly" with this accompaniment?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.

Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "I Believe I Can Fly", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "I Believe I Can Fly" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
