Please don't take my dreams away
Please don't make me give up
I know that I'll be someone, someday
Will you please just let me grow up?!
Stop telling me I'm dumb,
Don't accuse me of wasting my time...
Because soon my day will come
When I'll be in my prime!
What will you think then?
When you're old and grey...
When you're frail and thin...
will you be glad I went "astray"?
But I can't keep on living
in someone else's dreams...
I have to live my life...
you've been there too, it seems
So please just let me go
I might come back some day,
although maybe not until
you have passed away.
But if you would have let me
live my own life from the start-
I wouldn't go away,
at least, not with a broken heart
So with tears of pity, for only you I cry,
don't come looking for me
when I say good-bye.
Cause you will be lucky
if you're even there...
when I pack my things quickly,
yet with the greatest care.
So please, just give up,
when defeat stares you in the face.
Its done, I'm gone,
I have moved on...
Because I have won the race!
So please just let me go,
with the greatest ease...
and be glad to know -
that I at least said PLEASE!
