Papa Fly

Last summer we were scared to lose you

But here you are, safe and sound

Horizons widen like your eyes

There as you rise, off the ground

On the plane to sunny coasts

Where your boy has done his most

To make you proud

Oh, papa fly

Through your prayers and antidotes

You had the strength you needed

And set forth to the skies

Yeah, you got high, mm

Papa fly, papa fly

You said, "Son, I'd like a song in honor

Of this dream come to life"

And I scoffed before your flare for drama

That's a waste of my time

"A stubborn child would speak this way

I am more," is what I'd say

And I'd told myself a lie, oo

All this flowering I boast is for naught

If I can't toast you for that flight

You took it that night

Papa fly, papa fly

Papa got high

Papa fly, papa fly

Papa got high

Papa fly, papa fly

Papa got high

Papa fly, papa fly

Papa got high

Mmm, yeah
