Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I was a child, my eyes were clear
I saw the good side, but that's the kind of second-sight
That doesn't last too long
[Verse 2]
But when I was lost, I heard a voice that brought me healing
That's the kind of special hope he brought me with his song
[Verse 3]
People only saw the doctor, lawyer, Indian chief
But he was just a lonely little boy to me
With his sweet and gentle touch, he sure unlocked my soul
So, in return, I surely want to help to set him free
[Verse 4]
And now I wanna see him fly, fly, I'll be your alibi, my baby
Fly, fly, fly away
We didn't get to say goodbye, goodbye
No need to tell me why, my baby
Maybe it's because you'll fly back home to me one day
[Verse 5]
Men who they call real were really fakes who left me nothing
But this man they call a fake gave me something real
I've known cruel, cruel men with Christian names who taught me manners
But this man, without a name, taught me how to feel
[Verse 6]
They only saw the magic tricks, the smoke and mirrors
Was I the only one to ever see the boy?
So now they wanna clip his precious wings and bring him down
But in his heart and soul, the kind of good they can't destroy
[Verse 7]
Yeah, now I wanna see him fly, fly, I'll be your alibi, my baby
Fly, fly, fly away
We didn't get to say goodbye, goodbye
No need to tell me why, my baby
Maybe it's because you'll fly back home to me one day
[Verse 8]
Baby, when you're in the clouds, please keep a lookout
Maybe, darling, find a hideaway for you and I, you and I
[Verse 9]
And I'll see you fly, fly, I'll be your alibi, my baby
Fly, fly, fly away
We didn't get to say goodbye, goodbye
No need to tell me why, my baby
Maybe it's because you'll fly back home to me one day
Maybe it's because you'll fly back home to me one day
[Verse 10]
Maybe it's because you'll fly back home to me one day
And I'll be waiting for you there
Come fly back home to me
One day (Fly, fly, fly away)
