[Verse 1]
Willy was from Birmingham
Had the world in his hand
An office job, a bank account, and a pretty wife
Friday would come too soon
He would fly into the moon
His old lady never knew
What he was talkin' about

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't you fly away, boy
Don't you fly away
Don't you fly away, boy

[Chorus]
You know, everything will be okay
Yeah, everything will be okay

[Verse 2]
Monday and he's back to work
Shiny shoes, a tie and a shirt
Everybody loved him so
He had a beautiful smile
A good rapport, a pat on the back
Got his name on the company plaque
But nobody seemed to know
That Willy could fly
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, but don't you fly away, boy
Don't you fly away
Don't you fly away, boy

[Chorus]
You know, everything will be okay
Yeah, everything will be okay

[Bridge]

[Verse 3]
Willy was a noble man
When he lived in Birmingham
But he was losin' his mind
In a world of his own
Willy left on a rainy day
Wings spread and wind in his face
But nobody knew that Willy could fly

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, but don't you fly away, boy
Don't you fly away
Don't you fly away, boy

[Chorus]
You know, everything will be okay
Yeah, everything will be okay
Oh, won't you stay, Willy stay?
Yeah, everything will be okay
