Move On My Bird

You started out needing me

Baby bird ain't got your wing

Man, I was all for you

Back when you were new

It seemed like time would go like this

I'd be here and you'd insist

I'd stay close by your side

But that's not how time goes

Now I see you fly

Wild and free

My bird of a me

If I hold my hands out high

Maybe you will come back

A wistful romantic

But I will hold you back

I will hold you back

I will hold you back

They say there is no us

Unless you step here on our bus

Monkeys say, monkeys do

That's not how I raised you

Tomorrow has no guarantee

Live today is the key

Remember when times get rough

This old man still loves you

I'd confess this world

Is awfully lonely

As the one and only

Give yourself some room

To fall and fail

Fight tooth and nail

But don't let it hold you back

Let it hold you back

Don't let it ho-hold you back

Move on, move on, move on

My bird fly away

Move on, move on, move on

My bird fly away

Move on, move on, move on

My bird fly away

Move on, move on, move on

Now fly away

Move on, move on, move on

My bird now fly away

Move on, move on, move on

My bird fly away

Years from now, may you recall

All the lessons big and small

Ups and downs, the round and round

The beauty that you are

Remember how far you've come

Remember where you're gonna go

And take time to give thanks

And head on out that door

Move on, just move on

Got to move on

My bird now fly away

Move on, move on, yeah

Fly away

Move on, move on

Now move on, now move on

My bird now fly away

Move on, move on, move on

Now move on, now move on

You got to fly away

Move on, move on, yeah

Fly, fly, fly, fly away
