After listening to this a few times and watching the video, I believe this is a song about a mother who gave her child up for adoption and as the years go by is always thinking of him.
1st verse - He was just a baby when she let his life but it wasn't because she didn't love him, she wanted a better life for him (meant for more than...)
2nd verse - continues the idea that she wants a good life for him, but understands he might end up affected by not having her around (little bit dappy)
Chorus - Fly (live your life freely), Feel your mother at your side (She's with him in spirit), Don't you know you got my eyes (No matter how far apart he will always have the same eyes as her and their bond will always exist.) I'll make you fly (setting him free from a dead-end fate by giving him away), I know you can make it right (She has faith he will find a way to move past the abandonment issues and find a way to live peacefully)
Verse 3 - She knows his life will be upset by giving him up, but only for a short while until he settles into a new life, and deep down he will always feel her spirit in his happy earliest memories.
I think the video works with this too as it shows a woman pained with the image of a little boy, trying to find him but being unable to in the end.
