Time to Let Go

- Scarlett Keys/Pat Pattison

 

Children
You have them and hold them for a little while
Help them to walk, follow behind
Till they're riding a bike
Then watch as they wobble away
Teach them to drive, they get further each day
Until you know it's

Time to Let Go
You know you can't hold on
To an angel that's ready to fly
Destined to soar
That's what wings are for
No more tears, it's here and you know it's
Time to Let Go

Parents
They love you, protect you the best they can
Sing you to sleep, help you to stand
Until you run like you can
And think about running away
You've got your own plans, and though you wish you could stay
You know it's

Time to Let Go
You know you can't hold on
To an angel that's ready to fly
Destined to soar
That's what wings are for
No more tears, it's here and you know it's
Time to Let Go

Now the circle turns again
And I'm your grown up child
You're grown so frail, but as you fail
I see how strong you are
I'll help you and hold you,
Though all that's to come
And I'll stay here beside you
Until this journey's done, and you say, it's

Time to Let Go
You know you can't hold on
To an angel that's ready to fly
Destined to soar
That's what wings are for
No more tears, it's here and you know it's
Time to Let Go
