You are not a baby now
You are a boy now
You should walk now
Maybe even run now
Maybe I mothered you too much
Maybe I obscured the road ahead
That you do not know which way to take
That you can't find the man you will make
But as my grip of your hand gets weaker
Put the man in you to live large and dream forever
I cannot bear that you will let go
I cannot bear that you will let go.

I cannot bear that you will let go
