Lyrics:
Everybody's looking for that something
One thing that makes it all complete
You'll find it in the strangest places
Places you never knew it could be
Some find it in the faces of their children
Some find it in their lovers eyes
Who can deny the joy it brings
When you find that special thing
You're flying without wings
Some find it sharing in every morning
Some in their solitary lives
You'll find it in the works of others
A simple line can make you laugh or cry
You'll find it in the deepest friendships
The kind you cherish all your lives
And when you know how much that means
You have found that special thing
You're flying without wings
So impossible as they may seem
You've got to fight for every dream
'Cuz who's to know which one you let go
Would have made you complete
But for me it's waking up beside you
To watch the sun rise on your face
To know that I can say I love you
At any given time or place
It's the little things that only I know
Those are the things that make you mine, all mine
And it's the flying without wings
'Cuz you're my special thing
I'm flying without wings
You're the place my life begins
And you'll be where it ends
I'm flying without wings
And that's the joy it brings
I'm flying without wings

[@MegaMj03]

cozy rendition.

[@latoivoti]

Burnell is my favourite

[@electricdreams67]

Like this soulful version - this is a wonderful song in whichever way or version you sing it. The lyrics are so uplifting when you listen to the part "which ones you let go to make you complete" - life has so much of holding onto sometimes that you lose sight of what really makes you complete.

[@Natalielovesmusic1]

Lazaro , Angie , and Burnell . MY Top 3 !

[@missyg1208]

I love the raspiness in Ur voice u can really sing love it

[@Metallicgld12]

I can hear a little John Legend in his voice, but Burnell definetly has the vocal distinction to make him a prominent artist in the music industry. His voice is genuine, fresh, natural and youthful. There is a possibility that Burnell can become the next American Idol. This version of Flying Without Wings has Pop Crossover Appeal.

[@drummking15]

Voice smooth as silk
