When I was a child
my eyes were clear
I saw the good side
That's the kind of second sight
that doesn't last too long
Then 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
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
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
Men who you call real were really fakes
who left me nothing
But this man you call a fake gave me
something real
I've known cruel men with
Christian names that taught me manners
But this man without a name taught me
how to feel
They only saw the magic tricks
the smoke and mirrors
Was I the only one to ever see the boy
So now they want to clip his precious wings
and bring him down
But in his heart and soul's
the kind of good they can't destroy
So 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
Baby when you're in the clouds
please keep a lookout
Maybe darling find a hideaway for you and I
you and I
And now I wanna 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
Maybe it's because
You'll fly back home to me one day
you'll fly back home to me one day
