Wind blowing on my face Sidewalk flying beneath my bike A five year old's first taste Of what freedom's really like He was running right beside me His hand holding on the seat I took a deep breath and hollered As I headed for the street You can let go now, daddy, you can let go Oh, I think, I'm ready to do this on my own It's still a little bit scary but I want you to know I'll be okay now, daddy, you can let go It was killing me to see the strongest man I ever knew Wasting away to nothing in that hospital room You know he's only hanging on for you That's what the night nurse said My voice and heart were breaking As I crawled up in his bed and said You can let go now, daddy, you can let go Your little girl is ready to do this on my own It's gonna be a little bit scary but I want you to know I'll be okay now, daddy, you can let go, you can let go I love you so please let go xx your daughter margaret
