From the recording Holding Americana Vol. 1

Lyrics


Years now have gone
We watched them grow
Living life ordinary
Soon time will come
And off they’ll go
Writing their own life stories

And they will soar
On the wings of their dreams
In the end
I’ll learn to know
It’s okay …
They were meant to fly away

How time has flown
We’re all they’ve known
Living life ordinary
Memories of home
For now they’ve gone
Writing their own life stories

And they will soar
On the wings of their dreams
In the end
I’ll learn to know
It’s okay …
They were meant to fly away

Years now have gone
And now they know
Life is extraordinary
Soon they will know
Another soul
Yearning for life’s true glory

And they will soar
On the wings of their dreams
In the end
I’ll learn to know
It’s okay …
They were meant to fly away
And I know
They were meant to fly away
