[Verse 1]
I'm standing staring at my feet
I can feel the eyes on me
Is that the boy who flew away
I wonder, is he free
I wonder, is he free

[Verse 2]
One will courage a handshake and smile
And say 'oh boy, it's been a while'
Cheeks will turn, my ears will burn
I'll say 'oh boy, it's been a while'
I'll say 'oh boy, it's been a while'

[Chorus]
Maybe flying was never my plan
To leave and return an older man
Have you ever thought
You pushed me away
I'm home now, with no place to stay
I'm home now, with no place to stay

[Verse 3]
Luke talks about lost and found
Maybe he meant found and lost
On Sunday eve, we'll kill a calf
And deal with thе family frost
And deal with the family frost
[Verse 4]
Luck will fall and ice will thaw
For thе boy who drew the long straw
Bridges mend, and time is your friend
And home now will be Lán le Grá
And home now will be Lán le Grá

[Chorus]
Maybe flying was never my plan
To leave and return an older man
Have you ever thought
You pushed me away
I'm home now, with no place to stay
I'm home now, with no place to stay

[Verse 5]
I'm standing staring at my feet
I can feel the eyes on me
I'm the boy who flew away
The boy who's no longer free
