We were raised by the older generation

they taught us their expectation

they told us to succeed

live the life we wanna lead.

Years pass, we're older now

leaving our marks some way, somehow

we've made mistakes

shared in heart break.

Through school we are stressed

homework, sports, music, tests

you've been with us all this time

yet somehow, you feel left behind.

We can't stay young forever

you have to let go, now or never

you held the torch for our blind eyes

but now we have to be free, and fly.

This isn't good bye for eternity

After all, you're family

but I have to make my legacy

so please, let go of me.

But you'll soon see

a twist of irony

as adulthood sets in

the same cycle starts again.
