The Will (to move on)

My son, you've lived through much today
Now, for me, you must go on
You've suffered the pain and agony of truth
for a while, you'll be used like a pawn
Back and forth, you'll be moved around
Always look forward to the coming dawn

Tomorrow is a brand new day
Though all alone you may be
I won't be by your side anymore
For us, there can be no more WE
I will always be with you, though
Just close your eyes and you'll see...

The new family you'll be living with,
I don't really know who,
But care for them as you would have me
I'm sure they'll try to love you,
But as for the memory of me - I ask
Remember the promises and what we used to do

Yes, I'm gone for now, but only in body
I cannot guide you anymore
Show your new parents what you've learned
Do not make them sore
Remember all the things I taught you
And what I taught them for.

So, I say good-bye for the final time
I ask you only to hold me dear in your heart
We abruptly left each other
and I didn't mean to part
as time goes on, don't forget me,
But think of this as a brand new start.
