Lyrics
A Time To Fly
Verse 1
Baby boy, why are you going? You've not been here that long. Baby boy, why can't you stay here, and rest in my arms? But I guess, God knows best. Even when I don't know why. There's a time to live, a time to die, and a time to fly.
Chorus
So fly away, and rest in God's arms. You don't have to stay, God keep you from harm. And when my life is through, and I see you. I won't ask why. There is a time to live, a time to die, and a time to fly.
Verse 2
Baby boy, since you've been gone I can't forget the you felt. In my arms, the look on your face just, made my heart want to melt. The years have flown, by now you'd be grown. Sometimes I slip away and cry. But there's a time to live, a time to die, and a time to fly.
Chorus
Bridge
I may not understand, why I couldn't watch you become a man, but I know I'll see you again.
