Set This One Free Hey, Mom and Dad , Look at me, I am your biggest fan, You guided me, protected me, you’ve don all that you can. Can’t you see, its time for you, to set this one free, I want the chance to be the person, You brought me up to be. So step aside and let me by, Its time for me to go. I’m not saying that I’m leaving, I still need you by my side. Just let me see the ahead, give me a chance to fly. I may not follow in your foot steps, making foot steps of my own, but the places and the memories shared, I will always call them home.     D. L. Shotwell Copyright 1997, 1998 D. L.
