​Let Him Fly

Ain't no talking to this man
Ain't no pretty other side
Ain't no way to understand the
Stupid words of pride
'Cause it would take an acrobat
And I already tried all that
So I'm gonna let him fly

Things can move at such a pace
The second hand's waved goodbye
You know the light has left his face
And you can't recall just where or why
So there was really nothing to it
I just went and cut right through it
Said I'm gonna let him fly

There's no mercy in a live wire
No rest at all in freedom
And the choices we are given
Ain't no choice at all

The proof is in the fire
You touch before you move away
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
Took a while to understand
The beauty of just letting go
'Cause it would take an acrobat
And I already tried all that

So, I'm gonna let him fly
I'm gonna let him fly, fly, oh
I'm gonna let him fly, fly
I'm gonna let him fly
