Fly, My Chick

Fly, My Chick

Words: Arik Einstein

My little chicks have spread their wings and they've gone,
They left the nest and they're flying.
And we old birds have stayed behind in the nest,
All we can hope is that life will treat them kindly.

I always knew one day this moment would come,
And that we'd have to let them go,
But when it came, it took me right by surprise,
So it's no wonder that I'm feeling so low.

Fly, my chick,
And soar into the heavens.
Spread your wings and fly up there.
But don't forget
The eagle up above you,
Please beware.

The two of us are left alone in the nest,
But we will be here together.
Just hold me tight, and always stay by my side,
We'll face the future and grow old with a smile.

Fly, my chick,
And soar into the heavens.
Spread your wings and fly up there.
But don't forget
The eagle up above you,
Please beware.

Of course I know it, that's how it goes in nature.
When I was young, I did it too,
But now the time has come for parting,
And I must shed a tear for you,
Just one small tear for you.

Fly, my chick,
And soar into the heavens.
Spread your wings and fly up there.
But don't forget
The eagle up above you,
Please beware.
