Don't you cry, don't you look so sad

We both knew somehow this day would come

I know you want what is best for me

And I need to see you smile

From where I started off to where I am

It's a million miles, I can't go back there again

But no matter where I go from here

You will be part of me from now on

For every door that opens up

When another has to close

You got to trust me now

Be strong and let me go

Watch me now as I go my way

The time has come

And I gotta say I'm not afraid

Watch me now, every step I take

I feel stronger, so much stronger

The road ahead is a mystery

Your love is here

Oh and I believe inside of me

Watch me now, I can stand my ground

I will be alright, yes I'll be alright

You were someone who believed in me

When I wasn't even sure of myself

And I always will remember how

You were always there to help

And I heard so many things from you

And I'm ready now to try them out in the world

Though it hurts too much to say goodbye

We both know (we both know)

There's no other way

I will feel your loving arms

When I'm out there in the cold

'cause all of my thoughts of you

Will still be mine to hold

Watch me now as I go my way

The time has come

And I gotta say I'm not afraid

Watch me now, every step I take

I feel stronger, so much stronger

The road ahead is a mystery

Your love is here

Oh and I believe inside of me

Watch me now, I can stand my ground

I will be alright, yes I'll be alright

You will find me running back sometime

When I really need a guiding hand

We'll be closer than we were before

And I know that you will understand

I know you'll understand

Watch me now as I go my way

The time has come

And I gotta say I'm not afraid

Watch me now, every step I take

I feel stronger, so much stronger

The road ahead is a mystery

Your love is here

Oh and I believe inside of me

Watch me now, I can stand my ground

I will be alright, yes I'll be alright

Oh I will be alright
