Soon You'll Fly

You think you have the strength of an eagle
and all the wisdom that the wise old owl has learned.
But what’s true, my child,
beautiful and wild,
you are really just a tiny baby bird.;
Soon you’ll fly.
Soon you’ll fly.
I’ll be here
watching on the ground.
Soon you’ll fly.
Oh, how you’ll fly.
I’ll be sad
and alone and proud.
I have always known this day was coming,
I have always known you’ll leave the nest.
Have I thought you all I should,
was my teaching any good?
And can I honestly say
I’ve done my best?;
Soon you’ll fly.
Soon you’ll fly.
I’ll be here
watching on the ground.
Soon you’ll fly.
Oh, how you’ll fly.
I’ll be sad
and alone and proud.
You must travel far.
You must travel fast.
You must travel alone.
In my heart I will
always be with you,
though my babybird has flown.;
Soon you’ll fly.
Soon you’ll fly.
I’ll be here
watching on the ground.
Soon you’ll fly.
Oh, how you’ll fly.
I’ll be sad
and alone and proud.
