Let Me Go

In summer when the sun shines
You watched me when I played
In autumn when leaves fall
I ran to you with joy
In winter when it’s cold here
You tucked me in at night
In springtime when flowers bloom
You held my hand when I flew my kite
But it’s time to let me go
I’m not your boy tonight
Forever grateful to this day
But now I’m my own shadow
Let me go
In the old days, the good times
I knew you were invincible
As time flies through divine eyes
You’re a shade more vulnerable
Step aside now, don’t cry now
You know it’s hard to say goodbye
But it’s time to let me go
I’m not your boy tonight
Forever grateful to this day
But now I’m my own shadow
And as the lion cub grows and leaves mum
It’s time to release me and let me move on
You know that tomorrow I’ll still be your son
You know that I’ll run home when things there get rough
Let me go
