lyrics

last summer we were scared to lose you
but here you are, safe and sound
horizons widen like your eyes
there as you rise, off the ground

on the plane to sunny coasts
where your boy has done his most
to make you proud
oh, papa fly

through your prayers and antidotes
you had the strength you needed
and set forth to the skies
yeah, you got high

papa fly

you said, son, i'd like a song in honor
of this dream come to life
and i scoffed before your flare for drama
that's a waste of my time

a stubborn child would speak this way
i am more" is what i'd say
but i'd have told myself a lie

all this flowering i boast is for naught
if i can't toast you for that flight
you took it that night

papa fly

papa got high
