Fly away,

there's a better place for you

   after what you've been through

You go away, on your own

You leave me and everyone else behind

       I won't worry

I'll wait for the day I see you again

   It will be better

I'll finally be free 

       from that moment

   of space and time

          where I'm stuck,

where I can't leave,

       where I watch you die

You leave

 but it's only for the moment,

I'll see you again

Hopefully, there will be better circumstances

       and the image of you dying in my arms

   will be erased from my mind

That moment 

       made me who I am

I lived it with your brother,

    who I vowed to protect

That moment changed the way I see things,

       it made me feel,

   it brought me to life

The beginning of my life

was the end in a chapter of yours

Fly away

Something better will come

You're free,

       you're not tied to this moment

Actually, neither am I

   for there's work to be done,

and a life to be lived

And eventually I'll fly away with you
