lyrics

Close your eyes
It's gonna hurt a little
It's not the end
Can you pretend you're somewhere else
Where you feel safe

Take your time
Maybe you learn the hard way
Just like me
The Sweetest apple still has to fall
From the Tree

I've watched you grow
I've grown you up from a seed
I'm glad you know I've grown you up
To be Free
It's hard to watch you struggle
Though you'll be fine
It's hard to watch you suffer
Son of mine

Watch your step
You're gonna go your own way
Through the trees
On windy days you'll hear my voice
Upon the breeze

I'll always be beside you
Even when you're alone
My voice will stay around you
When you're old
You've got a mother's love now
To share
You're love to spread around you
Everywhere

Close your eyes
It's gonna hurt a little
It's not the end
Can you pretend you're somewhere else
Where you feel safe
