The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I, oh I, I can turn a gray sky blue
Oh I, you see,
I can make it rain when I want it to
I can build a castle
with a single grain of sand
Oh I, you see,
I can make a ship sail on dry land
Ain't happy with the powers I possess
You're the key to my happiness
And I can't get next to you, baby
Can't get next to you
I can't get next to you, baby
Can't get next to you
I, oh I, I can fly like a bird in the sky
Oh I, I can buy anything that money can buy
I can turn a river into a raging flood
Oh I live forever if I so decide
Ain't happy with the powers I possess
You're the key to my happiness
And I can't get next to you, baby
Can't get next to you
I can't get next to you, baby
Can't get next to you
I, I can turn back the hands of time
You better believe I can
Oh I, I can make the seasons change
Just by waving my hand
I, I can change anything I want
From old to new
Oh I, all the things I want to do the most
I'm unable to do
Unimportant, all these powers I possess
You're the key to my happiness
And I can't get next to you, baby
Can't get next to you
Can't get next to you, baby
Can't get next to you
Can't get next to you, baby
Can't get next to you
Can't get next to you, baby
Can't get next to you
