Fly, Fly Away - Kerry Butler

When I was a child my eyes were clear
I saw the good side
That's the kind of second sight
That doesn't last too long
But when I was lost
I heard a voice that brought me healing
That's the kind of special hope
He brought me with his song
People only saw the doctor lawyer Indian chief
But he was just a lonely little boy to me
With his sweet and gentle touch
He sure unlocked my soul
So in return
I surely want to help to set him free
Yeah now I wanna see him fly fly
I'll be your alibi my baby
Fly fly fly away
We didn't get to say goodbye goodbye
No need to tell me why my baby
Maybe it's because you'll fly back home to me
One day
LADIES:
Ooh-ooh ooh
Ooh-ooh aah
Men who they call real were really fakes
Who left me nothing
Ooh
But this man you call a fake
Gave me something real
Aah aah ooh
I've known cruel cruel men
With Christian names who taught me manners
But this man without a name
Ooh
Taught me how to feel
Aah aah
They only saw the magic tricks
Ooh
The smoke and mirrors
Ooh
Was I the only one to ever see the boy?
Aah
So now they want to clip his precious wings
Aah
And bring him down
Bring him down aah
But in his heart and soul's
Ooh
The kind of good they can't destroy
So now I wanna see him fly fly
Fly
I'll be your alibi my baby
Fly fly fly away
Fly away
We didn't get to say goodbye goodbye
Goodbye
No need to tell me why my baby
