Story Behind The Song
This song is about childlike faith. It attempts to capture the amazing experience doctors, nurses and family members have when working to help very sick children. The built in faith and courage that these children have sometimes makes a person feel ashamed for being sad about the so many trivial issues of our lives, it's a real life changer for anyone that experiences it. Sometimes these children are only here for a short while but can make such an uplifting impact on so many lives. It's like they know for sure something that we can't see and their trying to tell us it's all okay.

Lyrics
Fly
Oh she could fly
She was always so happy
In her world of so much pain
A struggle everyday
So many reasons not to try
But with all of her heart
She would laugh and sing
Oh she always knew
That there was so much more
She could fly
It's by design
Oh she could fly
The sickness took her young life
And now that she's gone
I can see she really lived
Oh she always knew
That there was so much more
She could fly
It's by design
She could fly
It's by design
I shared the last
Things that she said
With all my friends
Her words have always
Been so true
It's your life
It's your gift
Don't get lost
It's yours to live
It's your life
It's your gift
It's far too short
Not to live
You can fly
It's by design
Oh you can fly
It's by design
Oh, so much more
Whoa oh
It's by design
Whoa oh
Oh, you can fly
