Edward Smith - Ten Thousand Miles Lyrics

Mama can you hold me tight tonight
Never let me go and keep me by your side
As I'm, moving on to leave this world behind
On my own, ten thousand miles to go

Papa will you read my words
Teach me what life's all about
What you've done, and what you once were
Can you show me what I need to learn
'Cause you know this was hard for both of us

'Cause you know, that I loved
The emotions that I caused
'Cause you wrote all the lines I need
To keep up with this world
I'm grateful for those times
You taught me how things work
Now it's only my time to fly alone

'Cause mama you know I
Am waiting for you to say goodbye
I'm holding on
To things you taught me when I was five
I'm letting go, to leave this world behind on my own
Ten thousand miles to go
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Brother I miss all those times
We would play our games and fight when I was right
Now I keep getting stronger as we move up in this life
On your own, there are greater things to come

'Cause you know, that I loved
The emotions that I caused
'Cause you wrote all the lines I need
To keep up with this world
I'm grateful for those times
You taught me how things work
Now it's only my time to fly alone

'Cause mama you know I
Am waiting for you to say goodbye
I'm holding on
To things you taught me when I was five
I'm letting go, to leave this world behind on my own
Ten thousand miles to go
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Mama can you hold me tight tonight
Never let me go and keep me by your side
As I'm, moving on to leave this world behind
On my own, ten thousand miles to go
