The flutter of wings across my face I feel the rush of time and space I can't believe we've reached this place so soon.... Flight you can feel the air building Flight up under your wings and the anticipation Flight unavoidably brings The sky is asking a question Flight is the answer you give So why are these tears in my eyes as I watch you fly away? Flight after years of preparation you stand poised at the edge of Flight seeking new elevation up and away from your place on the ledge the pieces have all come together you're so steady, so ready to go So why are these tears in my eyes as I watch you fly away? Tears of joy, tears of pain So much loss, so much to be gained There's no easy way of letting go Once it comes you can't say no Flight is crazy and courageous Flight is a beautiful thing Flight is part of a natural progression Flight is life unfolding it's wings Flight is what you were made for all that you are and I want you to be So why are these tears in my eyes as I watch you fly away? Why are these tears in my eyes as I watch you fly away? I love you
