2. Fly free

I wrote this when I suddenly realized that my teenage son had become a man!

 

Intro: E E7  A

A                      

If you really love someone,

       D                             E

Release them set them free

A

And if they return your love

         D            E        A

Then it was meant to be.

 

          D                         A

Fly free little one, fly free

        E7                                  A

I’ll always be here when you return.

 

 

If you really love someone

          D                     E

Then listen to their part

A

Let them make their own mistakes,

              D         E                A

though it may break your heart.

 

          D                         A

Fly free little one, fly free

        E7                                  A

I’ll always be here when you return.

 

A

If you really love someone,

           D                       E

Don’t let their lives be bound.

A

Cut the ropes and threads that bind them,

 D              E               A

Let them leave your ground.

 

 

          D                         A

Fly free little one, fly free

        E7                                  A

I’ll always be here when you return.

 

A

All those years of love and sharing,

 D                             E

All those times of prayer,

A

Should prepare them for their journey

D                 E             A

Leave them in God’s care.

 

          D                         A

Fly free little one, fly free

        E7                                  A

I’ll always be here when you return.
