Turning from the plane
I could have put my foot down and stood in your way
But I let you fly, let you fly away
Closing of the day
Draw the curtains
Stars coming out to play
Had to let you fly, yeah
Let you fly away
My heart’s like an ocean

All the places that you’ll go
And the people that you’ll know
The hearts you’re gonna break
And the friends you’re gonna make
It’s hard to let you go
But I knew it would be so
Fly away
All the choices you will make
And the risks that you will take
It’s your life, for goodness sake
Gonna make a few mistakes
It’s a joy to see you grow
But I’ll miss you when you go and fly away
Fly a–, fly a–, fly away
