Lyrics
[verse]
Papa, I've been thinking hard about it
Longer than you know
Made a choice that scares me some days
But it's mine and I won't let it go
I know you want to keep me little
Safe behind the porch light glow
But I'm standing on my own now
Ready for the things I've chosen
[chorus]
Papa, don't you worry
I've made up my mind
This is my story
I'm not asking you to rewind
Papa, I love you
More than words can show
But this is my journey
And I've got to go
[verse]
I remember every lesson
Every warning that you gave
But some roads a girl has got to travel
Even when the water's brave
I'm not looking for a rescue
I'm not looking to be saved
Just a little faith in what I'm building
And the woman that I've made
[chorus]
Papa, don't you worry
I've made up my mind
This is my story
I'm not asking you to rewind
Papa, I love you
More than words can show
But this is my journey
And I've got to go
[bridge]
I know it's hard to watch me leaving
The nest you built with so much care
But love sometimes means letting go now
And trusting me to find my way from here
[chorus]
Papa, don't you worry
I've made up my mind
This is my story
I'm not asking you to rewind
Papa, I love you
More than words can show
But this is my journey
And I've got to go
