Time to Sail Lyrics

You weren't eight months old

I held your hand so you'd stand

And you walked with me 'til we laughed and fell to the floor

Then life's key unlocked your

Strength and speed and once freed

You walked faster and farther than I ever had before

Once you sought my guidance

Not quite clear, the cold fear

The existential question: Is there anything more?

Well son you've walked through childhood

I followed every step I could

All the places you've been

You've taught me more than you know

And I'd like to thank you

For the life you've shared with me

I've loved our walks together

Time to sail on the open sea

After eighteen years

An anxious heart, a new start

You left our home one August to study far away

The poet's verse unlocked your

Pensive side as you tried

To understand the genius, the words that you might say

With many paths before you

You walked alone on hard stone

And faced the future climbing higher every day

Well son you've scaled the mountains

I'm looking up from far below

And barely see you standing

A silhouette in the sky

Still I'd like to thank you

For the life you share with me

I've loved our years together

Time to sail on the open sea
