now you fly
now you fly
it’s time to try
ball up your courage
look to the sky
you’re strong and loved
you’re loud and tough
you’re scared and soft
are you big enough?
oh yes you are!
my little one
now you fly
the time has come
you’ll start off strong
some bumps and scratches
i can’t be there
through all rough patches
but you are loved
and your trunk is strong
follow your compass
and carry on!
the wind is blowing
the waves are rolling
now you fly
it’s time. get going!
