Fly Little Pelican lyrics

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

And 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
