Watch Her Soar

Song Lyrics from the album Celestial Chrysalis

There's no sound down the hall

No giggles, no laughter

or teenage phone calls

Who will be there to help

me through it all?

When there's no sound down the hall

There's no music in her room

No singing along

to Dark Side of the Moon

Where do I turn now

to counteract this gloom?

When there's no music in her room

And though I knew this day would come

I've tried to stop the setting sun

And hold on to the way she needs me

But her fate's not in my hands

She's here for much, much bigger plans

I let her go, the world it needs her

Cause it's time for her to fly high, fly high

Spread her wings and soar into the sky

Time for her to fly high, fly high

Spread her wings and soar into the sky

Time for her to fly high, fly high

Leave the nest but this is not goodbye

Time for her to fly high, fly high

Spread her wings and soar into the sky

Lighting up the stars in the night

Like supernovas filled with delight

I'll be on the ground waving Hi

As I watch her soar by, by

She calls me up

Hi Mom, it's late

I know your next question

Yes, college is great

But I've been studying hard

and staying up late

I need a break,

I'm coming home I'm coming home

Cause it's time for her to fly high, fly high

Spread her wings and soar into the sky

Time for her to fly high, fly high

Spread her wings and soar into the sky

Time for her to fly high, fly high

Leave the nest but this is not goodbye

Time for her to fly high, fly high

Spread her wings and soar into the sky

Lighting up the stars in the night

Like supernovas filled with delight

I'll be on the ground waving Hi

As I watch her soar by, by
