Walking Away

[monteci]

The time has come, and
i'm tying my laces.
Watch me fly,
as I deftly round the bases.

You've made me laugh,
and you've made me cry.
I set my watch to your clock,
but now it's time to say goodbye.

You ask me why,
as if you don't know.
But you were the one who set me free,
it was you who allowed me to grow.

No matter what you try,
there is no going back.
I've seen too much,
i'm taking a different track.

So here I am,
come and see me off.
Wipe away your tears
and send away your fears,
for I am a man of promise.
The man you always wished me to be.

There is nothing barred from me,
my yoke is easy and light.
I've found the path to freedom,
a day without pain or night.

Here I am,
a man without peer.
I wish you could see me,
but all you have left
is fear.
