Once a baby in my arms,
I protected you from harm,
And the world was bright and new,
And I watched you as you grew.

But the time has come and gone,
And you’ve grown up big and strong,
So I hope you’ll always know
As you spread your wings to go

You’ll rise, fly,
So take the leap and soar across the sky.
And climb high.
The world is yours, so spread your wings and fly.

As the future starts to dawn
I can see you moving on.
You are brilliant, brave, and strong,
And too soon you will be gone.

But you’ve filled my life with joy.
You’re my little golden boy.
So I hope that as we part
You’ll remember in your heart

To rise, fly,
Just take the leap and soar across the sky.
And climb high.
The world is yours, so spread your wings and fly.

So hold your head up high,
And don’t be scared to try.
Remember as we part
The courage in your heart.

And rise, fly,
Just take the leap and soar across the sky.
And climb high.
The world is yours, so spread your wings and fly.

Just fly.
Oh, fly.

Spread your wings and fly.
