Letting Go

She'll take the painting in the hallway
The one she did in junior high
And that old lamp up in the attic
She'll need some light to study by
She's had eighteen years
To get ready for this day
She should be past the tears
But she cries some anyway
Oh, letting go
There's nothing in her way now
Letting go, there's room enough to fly
And even though she's spent her whole life waiting
It's never easy letting go
Mother sits down at the table
So many things she'd like to do
Spend more time out in the garden
Now she can get those books read too
She's had eighteen years
To get ready for this day
She should be past the tears
But she cries some anyway
Oh, letting go
There's nothing in her way now
Letting go, there's room enough to fly
And even though she's spent her whole life waiting
It's never easy letting go
Oh, letting go
There's nothing in her way now
Letting go, there's room enough to fly
And even though she's spent her whole life waiting
It's never easy letting go
It's never easy letting go
