VERSE 1
C Am
We wish better things for our children,
All the things we never had.
And we give them all our love,
And protect them.
And then the moment comes when they spread their wings,
And you need to let them go, to do those other things.
I take solace in the strength that I’ve shown them,
And a few simple words, that might mean much more then.
REFRAIN
F G Am7 Em9 C
A lifetime can be a moment, if you wish it so.
Just remember where you came from no matter where you go.
Life can be full of pain, heartache, and some smiles,
And I’ve seen my whole life echoed in the eyes of a child.
VERSE 2
C Am
We wish better things for our children,
Dream them all the dreams we had.
We give them our everything,
And support them.
And you need to let them find, that inner strength you’ve seen.
You were there for their first steps and first falls ,
And they’ll be many more, you’ll be with them through them all.
