[Verse 1]
I thought by now I'd have life all figured out
A couple of kids and maybe a white picket fence house
I thought by now I'd maybe have a couple Grammy's won
Or just a little more to show for all the work I've done
But these dreams are holding me down
I can't see the sun for these clouds
Been holding 'em tight just like balloons in my hands
But I gotta let 'em go so I can breathe again

[Chorus]
I just gotta let 'em fly
Way up high into the heavens
I know I will be fine
Somehow I got to believe that
If it's meant to be, I don't have to worry
God will make a way to bring them back to me
But in the mean time
I just gotta let 'em fly-y-y-y
I gotta let 'em fly-y-y-y-y-y

[Verse 2]
When I was young, I had a vision of what life would be
And in many ways I've been more blessed than I could ever dream
So I'll keep on biding my time
There's nothing I can do to make the stars align
[Chorus 2]
So I'm gonna let 'em fly
Way up high into the heavens
I know I will be fine
Somehow I got to believe that, yeah
If it's meant to be, I don't have to worry
God will make a way to bring 'em back to me
But in the mean time

[Bridge]
I'm letting go of all the pressure
I'm letting go of all the pain
'Cause this is not a competition
There's no one else in my way
And if it's meant to be, I don't have to worry
If it's meant to be, I don't have to worry
If it's meant to be, I don't have to worry

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
I just gotta let 'em fly
Way up high into the heavens
I know I will be fine
Somehow I got to believe that, yeah
If it's meant to be, I don't have to worry
God will make a way to bring them back to me
But in the mean time
I just gotta let 'em fly-y-y-y
I gotta let 'em fly-y-y-y-y-y
