[Verse 1]
We're flying high on a velvet sky
With the wind on our wings
Climbing easily on the breeze
We're flying easy and we do just what we please
We drink the breezes as we drink wine, and the nectar is sweet
Now the feeling we have is fine
We're flying easy drifting on a summer breeze
[Bridge]
The trip is smooth and we gently glide
We ride the rainbow and we see to a tee
How happy we can be to be free
[Verse 2]
We gather gold from the evening sun
And its heavenly hues
And we don't have a thing to lose
We're flying easy and we do just what we choose
[Bridge]
The trip is smooth and we gently glide
We ride the rainbow and we see to a tee
How happy it can be to be free
[Outro]
We float and there is no thought of time
'Cause we're singing of love
And the pleasure is so divine
We're flying easy not a worry on our mind
We're flying easy not a worry on our mind
We're flying easy on a breeze
Flying, flying, flying

I ran into two very hep fellas in Chicago who wrote the words. It comes under the category of “easy listening” for those who like that.
