Lyrics
Soon He’ll Take Flight
He’s got a favorite pair of jeans and hair that hides his face
He’s can’t wait to outgrow his teens and take his rightful place
He’s building his identity around his new guitar
He’s not sure where he’s headed but he’s certain he’ll go far
He’s younger than he looks but he’s older than he acts
He’s sure about his attitude, confused by all the facts
He’s full of dreams and dangers and puzzled by the world
Intrigued by pretty strangers but he’s scared of all the girls
CHORUS: Though sometimes he feels fragile,
He grows stronger by degrees
Unsure of who he is, he’s testing personalities
He grows into his shoe size as he’s reaching for his height
He’s a rocket on the launching pad
Soon...he’ll take flight
He falls in love with someone new almost every day
His hopes are high as heaven but his feet are made of clay
The heart that’s hanging on his sleeve he can’t quite give away
For if she loves him back he turns and runs the other way
CHORUS
BRIDGE: His mama thinks he’s handsome. His friends all say he’s cool
He makes his own decisions and he loves to break the rules
He defies all definition for he’s changing day to day
His future is unfolding. Don’t you dare get in the way
CHORUS
