Get Ready, Get Set, Let Go

by Juliet   Nov 4, 2007


Remember the day you were born
Thought just wait till
You're older and grown
You'll be walking
Sometime soon
Gabbing away
Is not too far away

I wanted to see you proud and strong
Getting along
On your own

But now that you're there
I can't seem to bare
To see you
Growing up

In a while
You'll be down that aisle
Saying "I do"
To a man
You'll start a new life
Then a family
A new generation
To watch with glee

But I can't seem to let you go

Used to say
To get ready
To get set
And to let go
But now that time's passed
I'm holding on

That bike of yours
Rode ahead
You fell off
But got on again
Determination
To show me you could
And I believed
That in your smile
Lived hopes and dreams
That could go on for miles

But I can't seem to let you go

But I know you're ready
To stand on your own
To get on the stage
And rock out the show
To reach for the moon
And land in the stars
To sing your heart out
To a loud applause

I know you're ready
To go out there
And I want to you know
I'm always here
You can always
Run right to me
I'll be waiting
And I'll never leave

So this isn't the last time
I'll be saying
Get ready
Get set
Let go
