Analysis of Fly Away
Fly little sparrow, fly fly away.
Don't look back, just keep going straight.
You can't be hurt anymore; fly far away.
No one comprehends your internalized pain.
If you hesitate and turn back now it'll be too late.
Fly little sparrow, fly fly away.
You know for certain this is not the place to stay;
where the things that linger are malice and hate.
You can't be hurt anymore; fly far away.
You can start a new life; a new family someday.
It's right here in front of you; there's no need to wait.
Fly little sparrow, fly fly away.
Mother, Father, let go of the chain, you pray.
You did nothing for me, and now you know your fate.
You can't be hurt anymore; fly far away.
What color would be the shade of hate?
There is no need to be constantly afraid.
Fly little sparrow, fly fly away.
You can't be hurt anymore; fly far away.
