Just Let Me

Let me climb this mountain.
Let me ford this stream.
Let me find the fountain.
Let me chase my dream.
Let me soar to touch the sky...
Please, just let me fly...

Let me find my soul.
Let me crash and burn.
Let me have a goal.
Let me slip and learn!
I know life's not all fun.
But please! Let me run!

Let me have my life.
Let me dance in the rain.
Let me feel strife. 
Let me feel pain. 
Let go of my hand... 
Please! At least you could try to understand?!

Let me run the meadows!
Let me jump the fence!
Let me find the ghettos.
Let me find the consequence.
Let me know the rough route!!!
Please, just let me out!

Let me find sorrow.
Let me find pain.
Let me have tomorrow!
Let me go insane!
Let me feel heartbreak...
Let me rise! Let me wake!

Let me ask for advice.
Let me walk on the coals.
Let me pay the price.
Let me climb my own knolls.
Let me row my own boat!
Give me two oars, and set me afloat!

Let me roam the wood.
Let me sail the seas.
Let me see more than good.
Let my rise from my knees.
Let God be my pilot...
I'd listen to Him, if you'd once let me try it!

He will help me climb the mountains.
He will help my ford the streams.
He will lead me to the fountain.
He will guide my dream.
He will help me touch the sky.
Just please... step back and let Him help me fly.

Author's note: I wrote this from the standpoint of an independent teenager whose mother won't 'let go'... she wants me to always be a child and to follow her plans for my life.
