When will you be home?" she asks as we watch the planes take off

We both know we have no clear answer to where my dreams may lead
The singer and their loved one both know that there are no definite answers as to where the singer's dreams may lead them.

She's watched me as i crawled and stumbled As a child, she was my world And now to let me go, I know she bleeds and yet she says to me
The singer's loved one has watched them grow and develop since childhood and has played a major role in their life. Although it is difficult to let go, the loved one offers words of encouragement to the singer.

You can fly so high Keep your gaze upon the sky I'll be prayin every step along the way Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart I love you too much to make you stay Baby fly away

When I saw her laying in her bed Fragile as a child Pale just like an angel taking flight I held her as I cried
The singer's loved one is lying in bed, frail and weak. The singer is heartbroken and embraces their loved one while crying.

You can fly so high Keep your gaze upon the sky I'll be prayin every step along the way Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart I love you too much to make you stay Baby fly away ohh... I love you too much to make you stay Baby fly away
