Let Him Fly Lyrics
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
I'm 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 yeah
There's no mercy in a live wire
No rest at all in freedom
The choices we are given it's no choice at all
The proof is in the fire
You touch before it moves away
But you must always know how long to stay and when to go
And there ain't no talkin 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
I'm gonna let him fly
how can there be no comments on this song? it's soo good. patty griffin wrote it and actually she sings it too, but the dixie chicks do an amazing job on this song... everything about it is perfect. the lyrics are so... i can't think of a word. it's just an excellent song.
I agree. I love the dixie chicks version, especially when she sing the line "But you must always know how long to stay and when to go"....its beautiful.
It took awhile to understand the beauty of just letting go
LOVE this song.... it's so beautiful and candid.
i love patty griffin.
Patty Griffin has made the Dixie Chicks. Don't get me wrong, I love them, God, I adore them, but Patty has given them some spectacular songs.
This is song is probably something all women [or anyone] can relate to. It has so much depth and strength and confidence and does it all so beautifully...anyone who says they takes inspiration from songs by Destiny's Child and other pro-women rnb singers etc need to listen to this song. This is an athem.
Gosh, the lyrics are so simple, yet they have SO much meaning to them. I was just thinking about how much poise and beauty there is to just letting go. This song just emphasizes my feelings. Amazing!
but you must always know how long to stay and when to go . . . . best lines in the whole song.
this is one of those songs that gets to me everytime.
"the choices we are given its no choice at all..."
and when you have an experience that you can really relate to this song, it makes it that much more powerful... bitter-sweet.
