Fly Little Pelican

Karliene

Compositor: Karliene Reynolds

The only love I ever trusted
Was the love between
A Mother and her child

And when she died
My shelter flooded
So I had to learn to swim
Or die

I told myself
I was a fighter
I taught myself
To dream and never cry

But all that changed
The night of your birth
The night you never
Opened your eyes

And all the tears
I’d never cried
Fell that night
Fell that night

Oh, Jack and I
Held your hands so tight
Kissed your head goodnight
It’s just goodnight

We watched you fly
Fly little pelican, fly
We watched you fly
Fly little pelican, fly
