There's a time in a man's life when he needs to let go
The dreams he had for his little boy, his little boy's outgrown
"Catch the ball now use two hands never let it fAll
Remember out there ln the game keep your eye on the ball. "
Chasing shadows in the grass, discovery's his game
The sky's the limit of his youth hard to keep the young man tame
Daddy says it's time for school, twelve years the plan
Before you know it's time to go, he graduates a man
Sail on, set the world ablaze
keep your dreams at hand
keep them all amazed
"Son, you make your daddy proud, it's all there for you.
Become the man that I am and you can do it too."
No. daddy, no I don't believe it, it's just not for me
You have your dreams, I have mine, it's mine I want to be
Now some boys do indeed grow up to fill daddy's shoes
And other boys feel that they must do what they choose
No matter what the choice might be keep that glove on
For should you ever drop that ball it's gonna be long gone.
