Song Description

Heart-rending female ballad

Lyrics

I was flyin' through the playground
Back in 1933
Some bully caught my pigtails
Then he grabbed ahold of me

He said he didn't like my flyin'
But I think he really did
It was a stupid way to show it
You should have heard me tell that kid

Let me go
Don't pin my wings behind me
Let me fly
I need to blaze my trail across the sky
Gravity can't hold me, don't you know
Let me go, let me go

Before I met your father
Back in 1941
I went out with a hometown boy
A farmer's only son

One night he pulled me closer
Poured his sweet soul in my ear
I had to gently tell him
What he didn't want to hear

Let me go
Don't pin my wings behind me
Let me fly
I need to blaze my trail across the sky
Gravity can't hold me, don't you know
Let me go, let me go

Now you're all gathered here around me
With tubes and tape they've bound me
And oh, it's such a strange and painful day
I'm so glad you all could be here
But I'm more than what you see here
And if I could speak, this is what I'd say

Let me go
Don't pin my wings behind me
Let me fly
I need to blaze my trail across the sky
Gravity can't hold me, don't you know
Let me go, let me go

I love you more than you could ever know
Let me go, let me go
