You're such joy to me little Mann
I'm so very proud of you, yes I am
If I had been the one to choose your road
I would have picked the very one you chose

Your road is wide and straight
With a shoulder, for any mistakes

You've grown from a child, a little girl
To a woman of the world
And if I could take you by your hand
I'd lead you right to where you stand

You stand so tall and strong
With a shoulder so many lean on

And even though you might fall sometimes
You'll find your way back home,
in your own time

I know the time will come to let you go
You'll be ready and we'll both know
And there's no need for us to cry
Cause we'll know it's time for you to fly
Yes we know, it's time for you to fly
Yes we know, it's time for you to fly.
