Leaving The Nest

It came to me like a dawning

That it's time for me to leave

I've learned to run without falling

I'm not sure what waits for me

There's a gnawing and a taunting

exploding inside of me

Take the gamble someone's calling

Expect to fight your family

I told my loved ones that I'm leaving

There's no use waiting up for me

Such discussion and debating

Borderline insanity

If I stay there's no future

I know my fate waits for me

But If I stay then I'm a loser

for not doing what's best for me

Just want to make my own choices

Don't expect all victories

What if you're wrong, cry the voices

I'll accept the penalty

Don't wanna live no more

I don't want to live no more,

under your thumb no more

I've outgrown them can't you see

I don't want to live no more

I'm walking thru that door

to the world that waits for me
