You know the light has left his face
I just went and cut right through it
How long to stay and when to go
The proof is in the fire
Things can move at such a pace
I'm gonna let him fly
The beauty of just letting go
Oh, I'm gonna let him fly, fly
You touch before it moves away
It would take an acrobat
I said, I'm, I'm gonna let him fly
There's no mercy in a live wire
No rest at all in freedom
I already tried all that
Gonna let him fly
Ain't no way to understand
So I'm gonna let him fly
The second hand just waved goodbye
Oh, I'm gonna let him fly, fly
Yeah, yeah, but you must always know
So there was really nothing to it
It took awhile to understand
But you can't recall just where or why?
The stupid words of pride
It's no choice at all
He's been tryin' to tell me so
Of the choices we are given
But I already tried all that
'Cause it would take an acrobat
And there ain't no talkin' to this man
