Intro: Ain't no talking 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 Things can move at such a pace The second hand just waved goodbye You know the light has left his face But you can't recall just where or why So there was really nothing to it I just went and cut right through it I said I'm gonna let him fly, ooh, yeah, yeah There's no mercy in a live wire No rest at all in freedom Of the choices we are given, it's no choice at all Oh huh, the proof is in the fire You touch before it moves away___, yeah But you must always know how long to stay and when to go And there ain't no talking to this man He's been trying to tell me so It took awhile to understand The beauty of just letting go 'Cause it would take an acrobat I already tried all that I'm gonna let him fly I'm gonna let him fly, fly, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh I'm gonna let him fly, fly, oh oh I'm gonna let him fly
