It'll be hard to grow up
before you grow up too
you who'll ask all those questions
I'll pretend I know more
but it'll be how it has to be
It'll be hard to say I'm sorry
for a world that's what it is
I try a little in my own way
saying happy birthday to you
you go a bit further from me
you'll go, in your own way
you'll walk and fall, you'll get up
It'll be hard to watch you from behind
on the road you'll take
and the lines you'll dodge
while you slowly move away
you'll go, in your own way
you'll walk and fall, you'll get up
and keeping a piece for me
and right in the middle of your merry-go-round
not being able to protect you
but it'll be way too easy
you'll go, in your own way
you'll walk and fall, you'll get up
