[RACHEL]
I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
[RACHEL with NEW DIRECTIONS GIRLS (SANTANA)]
To fly
To fly (Uh, yo, yo)
[ARTIE]
I used to think that I could not go on
[SANTANA]
I wish today it would rain all day
Maybe that will kinda make the pain go away
[ARTIE]
And life was nothing but an awful song
[SANTANA (NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS)]
They got their guns out aiming at me
But I become Neo when they aiming at me (If I can see it)
[BLAINE & (NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS)]
Me, me, me against them
Me against enemies, me against friends (Then I can do it)
Somehow they both seem to become one
A sea full of sharks and they all smell blood (If I just believe it)
They start coming and I start rising
Must be surprising, I'm just surmising (There's nothing to it)
[BLAINE & SANTANA]
I win, thrive, soar
Higher, higher, higher
More fire
[RACHEL & SANTANA (RACHEL)]
(I came to win), to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
[FINN with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS (RACHEL & NEW DIRECTIONS GIRLS)]
I believe I can fly (Fly)
I believe I can touch the sky
I believe I can fly (Fly)
I believe I can touch the sky
[ARTIE]
See, I was on the verge of breaking down
[SANTANA]
Paint they own pictures, then they crop me in
But I will remain where the top begins
[ARTIE]
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
[SANTANA (NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS)]
I am not a word, I am not a line
I am not a girl that can ever be defined (If I can see it)
[BLAINE (NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS)]
I hear the criticism loud and clear
That is how I know that the time is near (Then I can do it)
See we become alive in a time of fear
And I ain't got no motherfickle time to spare (If I just believe it)
Cry my eyes out for days upon days
Such a heavy burden placed upon me (There's nothing to it)
[BLAINE & SANTANA]
But when you go hard your nays become yays
Yankee Stadium with Jay's and Kanye's
[RACHEL and SANTANA (RACHEL)]
(I came to win), to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
[FINN with NEW DIRECTIONS BOYS (RACHEL and NEW DIRECTIONS GIRLS), {MERCEDES}]

[FINN & (MERCEDES)]
I believe I can fly (Fly)
[ARTIE (RACHEL with NEW DIRECTIONS GIRLS)]
(Get ready for it, get ready for it) Then I can be it
(Get ready for it, I came to win) If I just believe it
(Get ready for it, get ready for it) There's nothing to it
[MERCEDES with NEW DIRECTIONS GIRLS]

(I can fly) I believe I can soar (Fly) {Get ready for it}
(I can fly) I see me runnin' through that open door {Get ready for it, fly}
