“Let them fly” ( lyrics by Jayney Allison)

LET THEM FLY (rhymed echo song)

A mother is not a cage
but an open page
where morning learns to stay

Let them fly
Let them fly
Let them fly

—

Before their names find sound or shape
before first breaths learn how to break

Let them fly
Let them fly

Life begins as drifting sea
no map, no lock, no “me” yet “me”

Let them fly
Let them fly
Let them fly

Tiny hands in tide-like motion
practicing the art of ocean

Let them fly

—

And love arrives without a door
it was there before the shore

Let them fly
Let them fly

No need to call, no need to chase
it lives already in the space

Let them fly
Let them fly
Let them fly

—

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
Let them fly
Let them fly

—

You do not carve them into form
you keep them safe, you keep them warm

Let them fly
Let them fly

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

Let them fly
Let them fly

—

You listen close to what’s unspoken
the almost-thoughts, the voice half-broken

Let them fly
Let them fly

“I see you here, I see you whole”
a quiet fire for the soul

Let them fly

—

They are not roots tied into ground
but wings rehearsing skyward sound

Let them fly
Let them fly
Let them fly

An eagle perched on edge of start
with trembling wind inside its heart

Let them fly

—

You do not hold to make them stay
you hold until they find their way

Let them fly
Let them fly

Then time will whisper, soft and free
now open hands, now let them be

Let them fly
Let them fly
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

Let them fly
Let them fly
Let them fly

—

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

Let them fly

—

And when the world feels sharp and wide
they’ll feel you there, their steady guide

Let them fly
Let them fly

Not as a call, not as a chain
but as a name they feel again

Let them fly
Let them fly

—

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
