My girl

I packed your dreams in a small suitcase

Left the light on in your room

You said “I’ll be fine, don’t worry about me”

But I saw the tears you hid too soon

I taught you how to tie your shoes

How to stand up when you fall

Now you’re standing at the doorway

Ready for a world so wide and tall

Pre-Chorus

I’ve been holding on so tight

Now I’m learning how to let you fly

Chorus (mee zingbaar 🎶)

Go on, love, spread your wings

Chase the sky, chase everything

If the night feels cold or long

My love will be your way back home

You’re stronger than you’ve ever known

Go on now… fly with wings of your own

Verse 2

Every step you take without me

Feels like pride mixed up with pain

But I didn’t raise you to stay small

I raised you to dance in the rain

You’ll make mistakes, you’ll lose your way

And find yourself again somehow

Just remember every road you walk

Still has my heart walking now

Bridge (zacht → opbouw)

And if you fall, and if you break

If the world asks more than you can take

Say my name into the dark

I’m never farther than your heart

Last Chorus (groots)

Go on, love, spread your wings

This is where your story begins

Wherever life may pull you through

There’s a part of me in all you do

I let you go, but I still stay

In every word I couldn’t say

Go on now…

Fly with wings of your own

Outro

I’ll be right here, letting go

Watching you become your own ✨
