Lyric

Higher and higher, you’re gonna fly away

Your voice and your song, in the light of the day

Just like a bird, finding the open sky

Spreading your wings, ready to say goodbye

Always and always, I’ll keep you in my ear

Your voice and your song, I’ll hold them so near

Inside of my dreams, where the memories play

I’ll listen to you, though you’re far, far away

This isn’t the end, it’s the start of the line

A brand new beginning, a moment to shine

I look at your back, so small and so brave

Reflected in every blue-crested wave

I’ll give you a push, from the back, ever slight

From yesterday’s shadow to tomorrow’s light

Helping you reach for the dreams that you see

Setting the spirit inside of you free

I want to hold you, tighter than anyone could

I’d keep you right here, if I thought that I should

But I’m letting go of your hand, let it slip

Like a golden anchor from a departing ship

Higher and higher, you’re gonna fly away

Your voice and your song, in the light of the day

Just like a bird, finding the open sky

Spreading your wings, ready to say goodbye

Always and always, I’ll keep you in my ear

Your voice and your song, I’ll hold them so near

Wash out the tears of the bitter regret

Laugh through the sorrow, you’re not finished yet

The clouds in your heart are gonna clear in a while

I’m waiting to see the return of your smile

I’ll become the wind, blowing soft at your side

From yesterday’s pain to tomorrow’s pride

Helping you reach for the dreams that you see

To the person you’re truly destined to be

I won’t let you hurt, I’ll keep you from harm

Keeping you safe and keeping you warm

I want to protect you, with all of my might

But this is your journey, your season of flight

Fly past the horizon, fly past the blue

Into a world that is waiting for you

Don’t look behind at the person I am

Just be the eagle, not the little lamb

Higher and higher, you’re gonna fly away

Your voice and your song, in the light of the day

Just like a bird, finding the open sky

Spreading your wings, ready to say goodbye

Fly away

Your song in the wind

I'm letting go

Dream on

Always in my dreams

Like a bird
