In summer when the sun shines you watched me when I played
In autumn when leaves fall I ran to you with joy
In winter when it's cold out you tucked me in at night
In springtime when flowers bloomed you held my hand when I flew my kite

But it's time to let me go I'm not your boy tonight
Forever grateful to this day but now I'm my own shadow

In the old days the good times I knew you were invincible
As time flies in my own eyes you grew a shade more vulnerable
Step aside now don't cry now you know it's hard to say goodbye

But it's time to let me go I'm not your boy tonight
Forever grateful to this day but now I'm my own shadow
And as the lion club grows and leaves mum
It's time to release me and let me move on
You know that tomorrow I'll still be your son
You know that I'll run home when things there get hard
Let me go.
