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