This is where I leave you, my friend
The fork where you veer left and I go right around the bend
I believe you’re ready for this earth
It’s time to go and find out what your aptitude is worth
I used to dream about you
Whether or not I’d doubt you here, here
The hours that I raised you
Conflated and appraised you dear
With my last dying breath I only ask
Do you promise to loom? To forever consume?
Put your feet on the track leading out of your room
Do you promise to find all the cracks in your mind?
Will you dust off the cogs or just leave them behind?
This is where the tide turns for good
I gave you what you need to oversee the neighborhood
And I don’t have to tell you that I’ll smile
When I see your name spread
All across the globe within a while
I’m not afraid of failure
I’m just afraid of failing you, you
And once we’ve gotten older
You’ll start to train your soldiers too
And as the lights go dim I’ll only ask
Maybe you’ll be something even better than I’ve been
If I had my druthers I would bust my chances in
Oh yeah
