You don't have to hold my hand Mom, I can make it on my own
I'm almost grown and I'm not scared now,
let me go and I'll stay close.
You don't have to hold my hand Mom,
I think I know my way
thank you for leading me to where I am
I have to go mom, I can't stay.
You don't have to hold my hand Mom,
this world can seem so dreary
what a comfort it has been mom
to look over and know you're near me
You don't have to hold my hand mom
I think I can make it this time
"oh my dear" with tears Mom says
"but you see my love, you were holding mine"
