"Flying High Again" is a song by English heavy metal vocalist Ozzy Osbourne. Released in 1981 from his second album as a solo artist Diary of a Madman (1981). Released as a single, it reached number two on the Billboard Top Tracks chart in 1982.

Although the song has been assumed to be about marijuana use, Osbourne has stated that the song was inspired by his successful re-emergence as a solo artist after being fired from Black Sabbath and subsequently believing his career was over. The song is in the key of A major.

Gina Boldman of AllMusic praised guitarist Randy Rhoads for the solo in the song as one of his best. She called "Flying High Again" "A good-time heavy metal song that was hard to take seriously" but "one of Ozzy's most likable and memorable songs of his early-'80s period."In 2015, radio station 100.7 WZLX ranked it the 223rd greatest song.

An animated music video was released to YouTube on 5 November 2021 celebrating guitarist Randy Rhoads, who was killed in an airplane accident a year later following the singles release.

Oh no, oh no Here we go now, here we go now Oh no, oh no Here we go now

Got a crazy feeling I don't understand Gotta get away from here Feelin' like I should've kept my feet on the ground Waitin' for the sun to appear

Momma's gonna worry I've been a bad, bad boy No use saying sorry It's something that I enjoy

'Cause you can't see what my eyes see (I can see it, I can see it) And you can't be inside of me Flying high again

I can see through mountains, watch me disappear I can even touch the sky Swallowing colours of the sound I hear Am I just a crazy guy? You bet

Momma's gonna worry I've been a bad, bad boy No use saying sorry It's something that I enjoy

If you could be inside my head You'd see that black and white is red Flying high again Flying high again Flying high again Flying high again Come on and join me

Flying high again Flying high again Flying high again Come on and join me

Oh no, oh no Here we go now, here we go now Oh no, oh no Here we go now

Daddy thinks I'm lazy he don't understand Never saw inside my head People think I'm crazy but I'm in demand Never heard a thing I said

Momma's gonna worry I've been a bad, bad boy No use saying sorry It's something that I enjoy

Flying high again Flying high again Flying high again Flying high again
