Let him fly

Ain't no talkin' to this man
Ain't no pretty other side
Ain't no way to understand the stupid words of pride
It would take an acrobat and I already tried all that
I'm gonna let him fly - mmm

Things can move at such a pace
The second hand just waves goodbye
You know the light has left his face You can't recall just where or why
So there was really nothin' to it
I just wanna cut right through it
I said I'm gonna let him fly
Ooh yea yeah

There's no mercy in a live wire
No rest at all in freedom
Choices we are given
There's no choice at all, uh huh
The proof is in the fire
You're tough before it it moves away, yea
But you must always know how long to stay and when to go

And there ain't no talkin' to this man
He's been tryin' to tell me so
It took awhile to understand the beauty of just letting go
'Cause it would take an acrobat 'n' 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
Well, I'm, I'm gonna let him fly
