[Verse:]
Ain't no talking to this man
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 going to 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 going to let him fly
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 - yeah
But you must always know
How long to stay and when to go
And there ain't no talking to this man
He's been trying to tell me so
It took a while to understand
The beauty of just letting go
Cause it would take an acrobat and
I already tried all that.

[Outro:]
I'm going to let him fly[x3]
