Let Him Fly

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