letting go of the reigns

the day you were born i knew life would never be the same

and holding you i knew i would protect you from lifes game

you're my number 1 priority and its a job i take to heart

no one will ever hurt you for this world they will surely part

as you grew your need for me slowed but still i was always there

i kept my distance but was still quite near to step in cuz i care

and then it happened so darn fast you grew up right before my eyes

you went from a child so small to a grown up adult oh how time flies

now that your grown im no longer needed to protect you any more

but its integrated into my being and its hard to let go of the reigns

i've been there for you all your life and i know its not been in vain

this is how lifes supposed to be and someday you will understand

that when you to have a child of your own it's instinct and not planned

when its my time to go then and only then will i give up all that remains

when passing over to the other side olny then will i let go of the reigns
