Live your dreams and let your child live theirs
Support their needs and share their cares
Give them room to grow and expand
So they can reach their promised land
Everytime you have a fight
Ask yourself “Am I really right?”
What you think may be right for you
For your child, it may not be true
What’s more important than being correct
Is unconditional love and respect
So separate the child from the crime
And remember to forgive them everytime
You don’t have to condone what they have done
But unless you forgive your daughter or son
Then you’ll be the one for eternity
Suffering a life of misery
Blame only causes rifts hard to heal
Blame keeps you a victim and then you can’t feel
All the love and joy that could be for evermore
With the child you brought to life and whom you still adore
So release your fears and let the apron strings go
Share your love, let the energy flow
Encourage them to dream and to follow their star
Live a life that shows them who you really are
As time passes the roles change around
The child becomes an adult and can feel duty bound
To protect their parents from the problems that they face
Yet they also need to find their own grace
So release your fears and let the apron strings go
Share your love, let the energy flow
Encourage them to be what they want to be
It’s never too late to enjoy being free
Live your dreams and let your parents live theirs
Support their needs and share their cares
Give them room to learn from their mistakes
And let them be for heaven’s sake
Give them room to grow and expand
So everyone can reach their promised land
