The Dr. J. Experience - Time to Sail

You weren't eight months old
I held your hand so you'd stand
And you walked with me 'til we laughed and fell to the floor

Then life's key unlocked your
Strength and speed and once freed
You walked faster and farther than I ever had before

Once you sought my guidance
Not quite clear, the cold fear
The existential question: Is there anything more?

Well son you've walked through childhood
I followed every step I could
All the places you've been
You've taught me more than you know

And I'd like to thank you
For the life you've shared with me
I've loved our walks together
Time to sail on the open sea

After eighteen years
An anxious heart, a new start
You left our home one August to study far away

The poet's verse unlocked your
Pensive side as you tried
To understand the genius, the words that you might say

With many paths before you
You walked alone on hard stone
And faced the future climbing higher every day

Well son you've scaled the mountains
I'm looking up from far below
And barely see you standing
A silhouette in the sky

Still I'd like to thank you
For the life you share with me
I've loved our years together
Time to sail on the open sea
