He didnât ask
He didnât pry
He just held the ice that covered my black eye
And when that girl
She broke my heart
We just threw that baseball back and forth âtill dark
And when I started playing guitar
And didnât have a clue
He wanted to protect me
But somehow my father knew, that
You canât cry for âem
Live and die for âem
You can help them find their wings but you canât fly for âem
âCause if theyâre not free to fall, than theyâre not free at all
And though you just canât bare the thought of letting go
You pick âem up
You dust âem off
And send âem on down the road
A little kiss
On a skinned up knee
From playing soccer, riding bikes and climbing trees
When bad dreams
Filled their heads
I chased the monsters out from underneath their beds
I guess I always knew those days would end
But the hardest thing Iâve ever learned has been, that
You canât cry for âem
Live and die for âem
You can help them find their wings but you canât fly for âem
âCause if theyâre not free to fall, than theyâre not free at all
And though you just canât bare the thought of letting go
You pick âem up
You dust âem off
And you send âem on down the road
You canât cry for âem
Live and die for âem
And even though itâs gonna break your heart, you let âem go
You pick âem up
You dust âem off
You pull them close
And you pray to God
To send âem on down the road
Down the road
Down the road
