Whose dreams I couldn’t fulfil
Which I didn’t wipe when she needed me the most
Who I didn’t hold, when she was hurt
Who I didn’t love, with my whole being
Who I shamed when she didnt make me proud
And blamed when he broke her heart
Who I hurt - unknowingly - in so many ways
For I didn’t know any better then
In that pain, I was also broken
I’m sorry I didn’t stand up for you
I’m sorry I didn’t let you speak your mind
I let you feel small and I let you feel bad
I let you cry alone when you were sad
I didn’t know how to help you fit in
I didn’t know it would be better if you didn’t
I pushed you to take the fall
Because I too afraid to make the call
Let me apologise, don’t stop me today
Together then we will find a way
To love you and to honour me
So we can live authentically
I set you free, o little one
Of all the memories I trapped you in
Held you back, didn’t let you grow
Too afraid to let you go
To everything you didn’t achieve
To all the heights you didn’t reach
Those roads were not our path to travel
We wait now, for life to unravel
Merge within me, while we take a chance
Sing with me, do the happy dance
I dream again, for us both
Come little girl, come on forth
