Letting Go Lullaby

I watch you growing, you’ve always looked so knowing
Sometimes there’s tension when you pull against the strings
But even when we’re fighting, I still delight in
Everything about you girl and everything you do

I watch you thinking, you do it deeply
I hear you laughing, it sounds so sweet
But I see your heartbreaks, I see your little hands shake
You grin and bear it cos you’re brave enough to take it anyway

So when I tell you, to keep your pretty voice down,
To keep your pretty eyes down, keep your pretty head down
I’m not trying to stop you shining
I’m just afraid the world’s too wicked for somebody as beautiful as you

So when I tell you to always look behind you, when I remind you to call and let me know
I don’t mean to stop you doing exactly what you want to
Oh it drives me crazy knowing one day if you need me I won’t be around
I’m just afraid the world’s too wicked for somebody as beautiful as you
