LET THEM FLY (rhymed echo song)
A mother is not a cage
but an open page
where morning learns to stay
Before their names find sound or shape
before first breaths learn how to break
Life begins as drifting sea
no map, no lock, no “me” yet “me”
Let them fly
Tiny hands in tide-like motion
practicing the art of ocean
—
And love arrives without a door
it was there before the shore
Let them fly
No need to call, no need to chase
it lives already in the space
—
CHORUS
Let them fly
through silver sky
where beginnings never die
Let them fly
from heart to sky
not away, but multiply
Let them fly
and you will be
the wind inside their memory
Let them fly
—
You do not carve them into form
you keep them safe, you keep them warm
You teach them kindness, soft and true
by how you speak, by what you do
Let them fly
You teach them truth, like steady light
that holds its shape through fear and night
—
You listen close to what’s unspoken
the almost-thoughts, the voice half-broken
Let them fly
“I see you here, I see you whole”
a quiet fire for the soul
—
They are not roots tied into ground
but wings rehearsing skyward sound
Let them fly
An eagle perched on edge of start
with trembling wind inside its heart
—
You do not hold to make them stay
you hold until they find their way
Then time will whisper, soft and free
now open hands, now let them be
Let them fly
—
CHORUS
Let them fly
through silver sky
where love does not say goodbye
Let them fly
still close, still nigh
in every star they travel by
Let them fly
and you will be
the ground, the wind, their gravity
—
They are not gone when out of sight
they rhyme with you in darkest night
Let them fly
Let them fly
Invisible threads, gently spun
tie every distance back to one
—
And when the world feels sharp and wide
they’ll feel you there, their steady guide
Let them fly
Not as a call, not as a chain
but as a name they feel again
—
Home is not a place that’s shown
it is a love that’s always known
Let them fly
Let them fly
Let them fly
