Let Him Fly

Ain't no talking to this man

Ain't no pretty other side

Ain't no way to understand

Stupid words of pride

It would take an acrobat

And I already tried all that

I'm gonna let him fly

Things can move at such a pace

The second hand just waved goodbye

You know the light has left his face

You can't recall just where or why

So there was really nothing to it

I just went and cut right through it

I said, "I'm gonna let him fly"

Ooh, yeah

There's no mercy in the live wire, no rest at all in freedom

Choices we are given it's no choice at all

The proof is in the fire, you touch before it moves away, yeah

But you must always know how long to stay and when to go

And there ain't no talking to this man

He's been trying to tell me so

It took a while to understand

Beauty of just letting go

'Cause it would take an acrobat

And I already tried all that

I'm gonna let him fly

I'm gonna let him fly, fly, whoa

I'm gonna let him fly, fly

I'm gonna let him fly
