Never Grow Up

It happens everytime I open up my eyes
And it takes me by surprise.
I hold sunlight and swallow firefles
And it makes me want to cry.

I love you.

I shall never grow up; make-believe is much too fun.
Can we go far away to the humming meadow?

We were walking there and I had tangles in my hair
But you made me feel so pretty.
You had shining eyes just like the forest lights
And it makes me want to cry.

I love you.

I shall never grow up; make-believe is much too fun.
Can we go far away to the humming meadow?

This place is so lovely it kind of makes me very happy.
Let's go far away to the humming meadow.

Letting Go

Letting go of a hand that I've grown so accustomed to holding
Letting go of that hand can be so hard
Letting go of a hand that was there to protect and defend me
Letting go of that hand can be so hard

There was bound to come a time. I had to find my way.
Our time has come for letting go.

Moving on in my life, there's so much about me that I'm unsure of.
I must find my own way on my own.
You will always be with me and I will always need your love.
And it's so hard to let you go.

Even now, though we know how my heart wants to hold on forever.
It's the hardest thing I know. But now it's time for letting go.

From the musical Jekyl and Hyde

Walking Song

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began
Now far ahead the Road has gone
And I must follow if I can

Pursuing it with eager feet
Until it joins some larger way
Where many road and errands meet
And whither then, I cannot say...

-J.R.R. Tolkien
