Freedom - To Fly
Free to Fly
I don’t know what it is,
But I know it is
A feeling I feel inside
A feeling that can’t be denied
But she’s going to do her own thing
And it’s almost time for her to fly
I see it in the way she spreads her wings
I see the want in her eyes
She’ll call it freedom
But she doesn’t know
She’s ready to leave
But how far can she go
Still, she is soon - free to fly
It might not be so bad
Except for the terrible blind vision I have
There’s her new love
A boy I’m not so sure of
I have a dreadful feeling deep within
He’s going to hurt her;
I just can’t say when
Or what
What will it be
God this feeling is mortifying me
She is in a little while - free to fly
I want to protect her from the pain
But I have to let her go, I understand
She’s my baby
She’ll always be
But letting go is not easy
She’s changing so quickly it seems
Since the new man of her dreams
Maybe that is what worries me so
And it’s not just that she’s now
Too ready to go
She looks to the west
Her sights are far from here
She spreads beautiful wings and practices flight
As that day draws ever so near
In next to no time at all,
She’ll be free to fly
Western Sky will send a final call
And she will fly, fly, fly.
