about

The story begins with the mother’s reaction as her daughter opens her A-level results. Yep, she’s definitely got her place at University. It’s real, she’s going. She feels pride and excitement at the new life ahead for her daughter, but mixed in is a slow realisation that this means her daughter will now leave. She’s about to face the Empty Nest.

lyrics

Okay, here you go, stepping out into the world
Time to live your life, time take control, yeah!
Great, big world out there
For the taking, and you’re gonna
have your share! Bring it on!

Mountain now to climb
Start ascending, it’s your time,
Reaching for your dreams, stretching for the stars, yeah!
Tough times? – You don’t care!
You can face it, leaving all of
this behind! Moving on!

Oh...oh..oh..oh…

And I’ll be strong, I knew this day would come.
And this is what it has been all about:
Bringing life, raising up, sharing love, giving hope,
and teaching you to fly.
But flying away leaves me behind.
And when you’re gone, what then?
What’s left of me?

Sky's no limit here
You can do this, I can cheer,
You've got things to bring, you've got things to sing, yeah!
Time to make your name,
Whatever's waiting, maybe fame?
You'll take your place! Here you go!

Okay, off you go!
You can make it in the world
You can live your life, you can take control, yeah!
Great, big world out there
For the taking, and you're gonna
have your share!
Tough times? – You don't care,
You can face it, leaving all of
this behind!
You'll take your place!
You’re on your way!
