Soon you'll go
You'll make your mark
Soon you'll go

Takin' my heart
Soon you'll soar
Into the sky

And i'll be there
To watch you fly


Tiny fingers clutching tightly round the edge of the bed
Wouldn't listen to a single word your mother said
I remember how you'd force yourself to stay awake

And wait up to hear my footsteps when i came home late

These things i will hold on to

When i cant hold on to you

Soon you'll go

You'll make your mark
Soon you'll go
Takin' my heart

Soon you'll soar
Into the sky
And i'll be there

To watch you fly

Wrote your name in giant letters scratched them into the wall

Trying to reach us when you couldnt quite express it all
Made a protest we would notice and the motive was clear
Now i understand it looking back across the years


These things i will hold on to
When i cant hold on to you


Soon you'll go
You'll make your mark

Soon you'll go
Takin' my heart
Soon you'll soar

Into the sky
And i'll be there
To watch you fly


Soon you'll go
You'll make your mark

Soon you'll go
Takin' my heart
Soon you'll soar

Into the sky
And i'll be there
To watch you fly


When its time to say goodbye
Ill be there to watch you fly

Go on soar to the sky
Spread your wings its your turn to fly
Cos ill be there ill be there to watch you fly

To watch you fly
