Ain't no talkin' 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 - mmm    Things can move at such a pace  The second hand just waves goodbye  You know the light has left his face You can't recall just where or why  So there was really nothin' to it  I just wanna cut right through it  I said I'm gonna let him fly  Ooh yea yeah    There's no mercy in a live wire  No rest at all in freedom  Choices we are given  There's no choice at all, uh huh  The proof is in the fire  You're tough before it it moves away, yea  But you must always know how long to stay and when to go    And there ain't no talkin' to this man  He's been tryin' to tell me so  It took awhile to understand the beauty of just letting go  'Cause it would take an acrobat 'n' I already tried all that    I'm gonna let him fly  I'm gonna let him fly - fly whoa  I'm gonna let him fly - fly  Well, I'm, I'm gonna let him fly
