Let Him Fly - The Dixie Chicks
Ain't no talkin to this man aint no pretty other side
ain't no way to understand stupid words of pride
it would take an acrobat and I already tried all that
I'm gonna let him fly
Things can move at such a pace the second hand just waved goodbye
you know the light had left his face you can't recall just where or why
So there's really nothing to it I just went and cut right through it
I said I'm gonna let him fly, ooooh yeah he yeah
There's no mercy in lyin' word, no rest at all in freedom
Choices we are givin' it, there's no choice at all
The proof is in the fire, you touch before it moves away
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 a while to understand, the beauty of just letting go
Cause it would take an acrobat, and I already tried all that
I'm gonna let him fly
