Your new life waits for you
Expects your arrival and frees you right away
Cuts you loose from the two of us
Could this really be the end
Don't ask why I still deny the pain
I'm running away
For a little extra time
I'll do anything, I'm willing
All we have left are seconds
The moments are numbered
Come give me your hand now before you go
If I were to ask you
To never leave me again
Would you, if you come back
Still stand behind us
Even though you have to go
Looking for new roads
I give you my blessing
And my word before you go
One day there'll be a time
That's only ours
And I give you my word
Before you go
I hope you find peace now
Wherever you are
For me there's only one
Never let yourself be alone again
One last glance, one last word
I can't avoid it
Can't stand here now
I have to let you go
This moment, now comes the time
Is all that's left for us
A lifetime can last longer
Fate has decided this for us
Come give me your hand now before you go
If I were to ask you
To never leave me again
Would you, if you come back
Still stand behind us
Even though you have to go
Looking for new roads
I give you my blessing
And my word before you go
One day there'll be a time
That's only ours
And I give you my word
Before you go
I give you my word before you go
Give you my word
Before you go
If I were to ask you
To never leave me again
Would you, if you come back
Still stand behind us
Even though you have to go
Looking for new roads
I give you my blessing
And my word before you go
One day there'll be a time
That's only ours
And I give you my word
Before you go

SONG MEANING

“Mijn Woord” is a heartfelt Dutch ballad where the singer faces the bittersweet moment of letting a loved one step into a new chapter of life. He feels the clock ticking, treasures every remaining second, and offers his blessing and solemn promise (“mijn woord”) before the farewell. Even while pain and denial linger, he shows selfless love: if this journey brings them peace, he will not hold them back.

At its core, the song balances sorrow with hope. The narrator imagines a future when they will be reunited, and this vision fuels his strength to say goodbye today. Listeners are drawn into themes of parting, trust, and unwavering support. It is a powerful reminder that true love sometimes means letting go, yet believing the bond will remain unbroken until they meet again.
