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 ✨
