On Your Way
Song
Music and Lyrics by Juliet Spitzer
For Michal
We’re gonna send you on your way
Bags and passport in your hand
We’ll say goodbye to a young adult
While we’re kissing our 2 year-old.
This skin I washed and know so well
Soft as peaches and cream
Now is worn by one who’s grown
Pursuing her own dream.
Go away and be strong
On your way
See the world and discover who you are
Then come on home.
We measure our years by our children
Yesterday this was me
How can it be …
There are places you’ll visit
Beauty you can’t imagine
Textures new and varied
To taste and behold.
But when you feel this spinning world
Become too grand
Know that we’ll be waiting here
With open hearts and hands.
Among the things we pack for our children
Are angels to protect them along the way
We can only pray …
Go away and be strong
On your way
See the world and discover who you are
Then come on home.
Go in peace and return in peace. Go in peace and return in peace. Go in peace and return in peace.
