-an ode to the eldest Youngling as we begin to prepare for the first steps into adulthood. and yes, I hurt my own feelings writing and singing this one, yet I couldn't be prouder of J if I tried... please excuse the mess-

--

hard to believe it's been so long now
and it's almost time for you to
take your next step out in the world
as you're grown

over all these years
throughs the joys and the fears
we've come through barricades
standing on the edge of a next parade

and we'll go with you
yes, we'll go with you
no matter where lift leads you
we'll be right behind you,
my love
we'll stay
we'll stay

oh my child,
the time's almost here
when we'll scream, and we'll cry, and we'll cheer
'cuz we know you have given your all and your best

it's been the greatest honor of our lives
to watch you grow right in front of our eyes
and to call you my child and i'm your mother
oh, couldn't have asked for better

and we'll go with you
yes, we'll go with you
no matter what life leads you through
we'll be there with you

and know you'll go places we never dreamed of
and you'll see those you've never met yet
and you'll change things for the better
'cuz that's who you are

and the tears falling down
are of pride and 
all because you have been one of the greatest
gifts of all

and i'm proud of who you're becoming
and i know you've got more to go
oh, i love you, and i'll be with you
no matter where you go
so here you go
