¬¬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
