Overprotective

A tender, melancholic ballad exploring a parent's journey through their child's growth. From the earliest moments of infancy to the cusp of adolescence, the song captures the bittersweet emotions of love, protection, and the inevitable letting go. The poignant lyrics and gentle melody evoke a sense of wistful nostalgia and heartfelt apology, as the parent reflects on their own overprotectiveness and the child's inherent strength.

Lyrics:
Tiny hands, a precious smile,
Swaddled tight, safe for a while.
Every step, a guarded quest,
Shielded from life's harsh test.

Forgive me, little one, I fear,
My love's a cage, it's all too clear.
I long to let you freely fly,
But worry clouds my watchful eye.

First words, a joyful sound,
Playground laughter, safe and bound.
Every scrape, a worried sigh,
Sheltered dreams, I can't deny.

My heart aches, I see it now,
Holding tight, I stunt your bough.
I wish I'd known, I wish I'd seen,
The strength within, so serene.

School days dawn, a world unfolds,
Friendships bloom, stories untold.
Every choice, a hesitant plea,
My guidance binds, I can't foresee.

Forgive me, child, for holding back,
Your spirit's light, I dim and black.
I long to see you soar and shine,
Unburdened by these fears of mine.

Last year's bell, a bittersweet chime,
Childhood's end, the sands of time.
Every dream, a hopeful spark,
Wings spread wide, though I leave a mark.

So go, my child, embrace the unknown,
With courage strong, you'll stand alone.
And though I'll miss you, I'll understand,
It's time to let go of my trembling hand.

"I'm sorry, dearest, for the past,
My love's chains held you fast.
But now I see, you're ready to fly,
Beyond my fears, into the sky."

Go forth, my love, explore and roam,
Embrace each challenge, make it your home.
And though my worries linger near,
My pride and love outshine the fear.

I'll watch you grow, with joyful tears,
As you chase dreams through endless years.
So step with courage, heart ablaze,
My love forever, lights your days.
