Ain't no talkin' to this man Ain't no pretty other side Ain't no way to understand the stupid words of pride It would take an acrobat and I already tried all that I'm gonna let him fly - mmm Things can move at such a pace The second hand just waves goodbye You know the light has left his face You can't recall just where or why So there was really nothin' to it I just wanna cut right through it I said I'm gonna let him fly Ooh yea yeah There's no mercy in a live wire No rest at all in freedom Choices we are given There's no choice at all, uh huh The proof is in the fire You're tough before it it moves away, yea But you must always know how long to stay and when to go And there ain't no talkin' to this man He's been tryin' to tell me so It took awhile to understand the beauty of just letting go 'Cause it would take an acrobat 'n' I already tried all that I'm gonna let him fly I'm gonna let him fly - fly whoa I'm gonna let him fly - fly Well, I'm, I'm gonna let him fly
