letting you go
Embracing Tomorrow: A Mother's Bittersweet Journey of Letting Go
Lyrics
When you opened up your eyes, for the very first time I knew you were mine
Upon seeing you for the first time, I felt a strong sense of possession over you.
Then you took a breath, then there came a step
As you began to breathe and take your first steps, a progression in your life occurred.
And I knew I'd let you go soon
I realized that eventually, I would have to release my hold on you.
And I don't want you to go
I don't desire for you to leave.
So that's why
Due to this sentiment,
I want you to stay home
I wish for you to remain at home.
I want to keep you close, forever in my arms
I want to maintain a perpetual embrace, keeping you close to me.
And everything you do
Regardless of your actions,
I'm always proud of you
I continuously feel a sense of pride in you.
I love you
I have profound affection for you.
But I need to let you go soon
However, there is a necessity for me to allow you to progress independently soon.
Now you've grown before my eyes, I see your future so bright, I can't even deny
As you've matured, I witness a bright future ahead for you, impossible to deny.
Your passing with straight a's, high school became a haze
Your academic success made high school seem like a blur.
And I knew I'd let you go soon
I acknowledged that I would need to release my grasp on you soon.
And I don't want you to go
I do not wish for you to depart.
So that's why
Thus,
I want you to stay home
I hope for you to remain at home.
I want to keep you close, forever in my arms
My desire is to preserve our closeness, holding you in my arms indefinitely.
And everything you do
Irrespective of your actions,
I'm always proud of you
I perpetually feel a sense of pride in you.
I love you
I deeply care for you.
But I need to let you go-
Nevertheless, I must allow you to progress independently-
There are no words that express how my heartaches
Words cannot express the pain I feel in my heart.
I see you on tv and I begin to break
Seeing you on television causes me emotional distress.
And you're so far away
You're distantly located from me.
Don't even know what to say to you
I struggle to find the right words to communicate with you.
Just know that I'm so proud of you
But please know, I am immensely proud of you.
I want you to stay home
I wish for you to remain at home.
I want to keep you close, forever in my arms
I desire to maintain our closeness, holding you in my arms indefinitely.
And everything you do
Irrespective of your actions,
I'm always proud of you
I continuously feel a sense of pride in you.
I love you
I deeply care for you.
But I need to let you go, but I need to let you go now
However, it's necessary for me to allow you to progress independently now.
