I've been away but I'm trying to keep you in sight
It's all gone to waste but I'm trying to keep myself bright
I don't remember those things that everyone said
And when I think about life, no, I never did listen to them

And I see myself in your eyes
You were always my songbird
And I won't let you look back on your life
And say you took a wrong turn

'Cause you can fly
Be the bird
Fly away
See the world
You'll be the news
Everybody heard
You'll never lose
Anything you've learnt
Just promise me you'll
Keep going
Just keep going and I'll
Keep telling you you're flying

You're younger than me
But I've listened to all that you've done
Just follow your heart
And tell me how far you have come

'Cause I see myself in your eyes
You were always my songbird
And I won't let you look back on your life
And say you took a wrong turn

'Cause you can fly
Be the bird
Fly away
See the world
You'll be the news
Everybody heard
You'll never lose
Anything you've learnt
Just promise me you'll
Keep going
Just keep going and I'll
Keep telling you you're flying

Flying
Flying
Flying
Flying

Promise me you'll keep going
Just keep going and I'll
Keep telling you you're flying
Keep going
Just keep going and I'll
Keep telling you you're flying
