I'm leaving now to slay the foe-
Fight the battles, high and low.
I'm leaving, mother, hear me go!
Please wish me luck today.
*
I've grown my wings, I want to fly,
Seize my victories where they lie.
I'm going, mom, but please don't cry-
Just let me find my way.
*
I want to see and touch and hear,
Though there are dangers, there are fears.
I'll smile my smiles and dry my tears-
Please let me speak my say.
*
I'm off to find my world, my dreams,
Carve my niche, sew my seams,
Remember, as I sail my streams-
I'll love you, all the way.
