¬¬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

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

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 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 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 wanna clip his precious wings, and bring him down!

 But in his heart and soul’s the kind of good they can’t destroy!

 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

Baby, when you're in the clouds, please keep a lookout

Maybe, darling, find a hideaway for you and I, you and I

 Then 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

Maybe it's because you'll fly back home to me one day

And I'll be waiting for you there

 You'll fly back home to me one day
