Let Go...

Can't you see I've got to go?
Please! try to understand.
You are finding this hard, I know
but I don't need to hold your hand.

I have my own two feet,
both strong and ready to walk.
I'm ready to face the world and compete,
ready to make my own mark.

This is my dream we're dealing with,
my ambition, my goal.
It's my life! the one for me to live,
the one bursting through my soul.

All I want is to fill you with pride,
not with hurt nor with pain.
but to do this I need you by my side,
because without you I can't gain.

I'm sorry I can't be perfect,
I just need to be free.
I need you to give me some respect,
and to put your trust in me.

We can't keep going on the attack
because it's tearing me apart.
Every argument we have sets me back,
it's shutting down my heart.

I think I know whats on your mind,
I know your biggest fear.
It's of loosing me and being left behind,
but you know I'll always be near.

So please! just let go of my hand,
let me grow, let me fly.
Let me see the world and expand,
I promise this is isn't goodbye!

*** To my mum***
