As I Watch You Fly Away

As I watch you fly away, I think of when you grew in me

I felt your power wholly, coming into being

You pursed your lips and found your home, warm against my chest

Child, I’m gonna hold you ‘til my dying breath

As I watch you fly away, I remember all your tears

Oh, the tears you’ve yet to cry in all your glory years

I can feel your sweet breath, sleeping in my bed

With everything I am, I’ll love you past my death

As I watch you fly away, I know I’ll just keep hangin’ on

Long after you’ve found your way, you’ll always have a home

In my arms you are welcomed any way

Know that I love you as I watch you fly away
