Please don't shelter me anymore,
Let my heart endure,
Let my wings soar,
I need
To explore
The world

On my own I will be now,
And I will get by somehow,
Even if I fall apart,
I will have
You're love
In my heart

Please, I'm no longer a kid.
I'm 18 and I'm trying to live;
Even if that means struggling everyday.
I will
Always,
Find a way

Thank you for guiding me,
For showing me exactly what I need,
And for allowing me to be anything
I can't wait
To explore
The world
