Let me fly, let me loose Let me go the way I choose Don't make me walk a minute in your shoes For I am grown now. Chorus: My child I'll not forgo it Though, your love is dear to me And though you may not know it It's ever clear to me Until you hurt and dare to show it You will always be a child to me. Let me go, let me try I've the wings so let me fly Let me soar so I can touch the sky For I am grown now Chorus Let me run and never falter Don't tie me to your halter Your tales don't turn my legs to water For I am grown now. Chorus Let me climb up with the eagles, Don't hold me with your legalese I'll not run through your steeples For I am grown now. Chorus Can I return to comfort all For the world has let me fall And I am standing not so tall And feeling small now. My child, my child I love you so Your love is dear to me And yet I gladly let you go It's ever clear to me For you have learned the seeds you sow are returned, and an adult finally be Growth demands a temporary surrender of security.

Excellent work! Lyrical writing can be very tricky, indeed. But you have a made a mockery of that statement. Waiting patiently with the others for it's smashing debut... Trev. |

'Deer three smiles. Wow! Thanks. Kathleen. I'm glad I came back too. Now If I can just find a way to cut those apron strings. Alan. you know what they say "music is in the ear of the beholder" Mark. Debut? you obviously didn't read my poem about my music ability, response to Sunshine's challenge. See Verse two lines three and four. /pip/Forum42/HTML/000135.html Trew, That's right I make a mockery for I am the mock turtle. Gemini Thanks. It saves on gas when it's heart warming that way. Wil, thanks for the super. Is that short for superintendent by any chance? Eagle One. thanks for stopping by. Be well Kethry Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. Gail Sheehy |
