You say you are leaving.
(what if I asked you to stay?)
You say the world has plans for you, a bright future, a new way of life.
(Before we know what could be for us.)
Dreams that are yours to follow and you are taking your opportunities.
(I really want to be pleased for you.)
You seem a little hesitant to go, but you feel you must, there’s a pull you say.
(Then you should go, but please just one more day for me to show you why you should stay.)
Then, my friend, you must follow your dreams and as a gift take my love with you, unfurl your wings and soar.
(I hope you will choose to soar back to me.)
