Fly Away

This is dedicated to all the mothers who had to let their babies go for freedom. This is also dedicated to all those who fell trying to fly away and those who feel before they even got a chance to lift their wings. To them I promise "never again"1

Fly away baby bird
Take your wings and soar
I want you to be safe
Leave Mamma here baby
Fly, fly away2

Fly away baby bird
The black boots are coming
Don't let yourself look back
Leave home here baby
time to go, fly away4

5

Fly away baby bird
Jump from this cage to freedom
that freedom makes you the hunted
leave the chase in your footprints baby
Stay hidden, fly away6

7

Fly away baby bird
Look at the smoke from those towers
That can't be your future
Let the winds take you to free air, baby
Don't burn, fly away8

9

Fly away baby bird
Don't move to stop the hunters
Don't risk your free destiny
leave your humiliation here, baby
Wait a little longer, then fly away10

11

Fly away baby bird
Look away before they scar you
Let me take up the mothers' cry
Don't make me a grieving mother, baby
Be silent for now, fly away12

13

Fly away baby bird
Stand before the falling
Live for the dying
Survive for me, baby
tell our stories, fly away14

15

Fly away baby bird
Honor the fallen when you're free
Remember our sacrifices
I'm done holding on baby
It's not goodbye, fly away16
