I wrote this back about 9 years ago for my daughters. Advice for living life. I was browsing my old songs a few weeks ago and came across this and thought it would be a good candidate for a bit of a remix.

The original is on my signature link somewhere down the list if you'd like to compare.

On this.... what's new....

I removed several (4) complete tracks. Reworked instrument envelopes and levels. I dropped most of them out. Played with the vocal levels towards the end. Made the harmonies beefier. A fancy musical term for "made them louder"


The band is:

Steel 363, Fiddle 624, Piano 1725 & 2045, Bass 366, Nashville even drums.

Everything else is me.

Vocals, 5 tracks.
Guitars, two Taylor acoustic guitars, and one Mandolin track.




FLY (the remix)

Lyrics:

FLY

I watched you grow as time passed by
I look at you now and I feel pride
So many good times in the past
Created memories that last

Time rolls on and we grow old
Winter's coming so's the cold
So spend your time out in the sun
Live, love, laugh and have some fun


Go on baby and fly,
Spread your wings reach for the sky
Don't ever be afraid to fall,
God's still big, when you feel small
Grab life fast and hold on tight
Love all the people in your life.
Tell the truth and never lie
Now Go on baby and fly.

You'll start a family of your own
Help them learn and watch them grow
As this world keeps turning round.
Trust in God for solid ground

Some day then you too will know
The blessings found in growing old
And as your young ones walk away,
Hold them close to you and say

Go on baby and fly,
Spread your wings reach for the sky
Don't ever be afraid to fall,
God's still big when you feel small
Grab life fast and hold on tight
Love all the people in your life.
Tell the truth and never lie
Now Go on baby and fly.

Love all the people in your life...
Go on baby and fly
