Let Him Fly (Live) - Alisan Porter

Written by：Patty Griffin

Ain't no talking to this man

Ain't no pretty other side

Ain't no way to understand the

Stupid words of pride

'Cause it would take an acrobat

And I already tried all that

So I'm gonna let him fly

Things can move at such a pace

The second hand's waved goodbye

You know the light has left his face

And you can't recall just where or why

So there was really nothing to it

I just went and cut right through it

Said I'm gonna let him fly

There's no mercy in a live wire

No rest at all in freedom

And the choices we are given

Ain't no choice at all

The proof is in the fire

You touch before you move away

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

Took a while to understand

The beauty of just letting go

'Cause it would take an acrobat

And I already tried all that

So I'm gonna let him fly

I'm gonna let him fly fly oh

I'm gonna let him fly fly

I'm gonna let him fly
