about

I encourage you to pay what you can as it helps me continue to bring new music to you. Thank you so much for your support!

This song is in dedication to Drew Griffin - an advocate for human rights and the LGBTQIA community. His work in the community has been awarded many times and for good reason. His strength and compassion has helped countless people struggling with self-identity and many forms of hate be able to rise up with their wings unfurled to reach new heights. May he live on with this song and through us all as we carry on his torch.

lyrics

It’s hard to say goodbye
It feels like we just said hello
That’s why the last time I held you close
I couldn’t let go
I didn’t want to let you go, no

You asked if we could slow dance
To that old familiar song
As our hearts beat together, I knew
While you sang along
Soon you would be gone

Now I’ve got to let you fly away
I wanted to thank you more
For opening up the door
Somehow, I knew you couldn’t stay
But why’d it have to be this way?
I know you had to go and fly away

You always wore the biggest smile
It was wrapped around every heart
And you spoke of all the love you had
Helping others through the dark
You were so proud doing that part

You gave this world your everything
Even though you had just begun
I’m sure that you will always live on
With your glowing light
Inside everyone

Now I've got to let you fly away
Somehow we knew you really couldn’t stay
But why’d it have to be this way?
I know you had to go

You had to go and fly away
You don’t have to hurt anymore
And cry all day
We will carry on your torch
It’s ok to step into the light
And fly away

Go on and fly away

Go on and fly away
