She'll take the painting in the hallway, the one she did in junior high
And that old lamp up in the attic, she'll need some light to study by
She's had eighteen years to get ready for this day
She should be past the tears, she cries some anyway
Oh, letting go, there's nothing in her way now
Oh, letting go, there's room enough to fly
And even though she's spent her whole life waiting, it's never easy
Letting go
Mother sits down at the table, so many things she'd like to do
Spend more time out in the garden, now she can get those books read too
She's had eighteen years to get ready for this day
She should be past the tears, she cries some anyway
Oh, letting go, there's nothing in her way now
Oh, letting go, there's room enough to fly
And even though she's spent her whole life waiting, it's never easy
Oh, letting go
Oh, letting go, there's nothing in her way now
Oh, letting go, there's room enough to fly
And even though she's spent her whole life waiting, it's never easy
Letting go, it's never easy
Letting go
Letting go
Letting go
