There was a time that I barely spoke,

So why is that now I’m an adult

My words mean more to you.

Where I go, and what I do,

Has suddenly become so important

When all I do is work hard

To make my dreams come true.

Is it all because

That for once my life is no longer apart of yours

That’s something you shouldn’t fear

I’m just spreading my wings,

To me, you’ll always be near.
