Fly Little Pelican

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

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
