Intro
Verse 1
Suitcases Sitting By The Bedroom Door
Fourteen Years Went By, And Now There’s So Much More
Ahead Of You Than What You Leave Behind
You’ve Got A Brilliant Spark And An Open Mind
I Watch You Packing Up Your Favorite Things
Transitioning From Childhood To Finding Your Wings
It’s Bittersweet To See You Grow So Fast
But I Know That You’re Ready For This Shadow To Be Cast
Chorus
And I Want You To Know How Proud I Am Of You
For The Kindness In Your Heart And Everything You Do
As You Walk Down Those New Halls And Follow Your Own Star
Never Lose The Magic Of Exactly Who You Are
Go Make Your Own Path, Stand Tall And Be Brave
You’re The Greatest Gift That Life Ever Gave
Verse 2
There’ll Be New Faces, Big Books, And Different Skies
New Challenges To Meet, And New Horizons To Rise
The Dorm Rooms Might Feel Quiet When The Night Comes Down
And You’ll Be Far Away From Our Familiar Little Town
But Every Single Lesson That You’ve Learned Right Here
Is A Compass In Your Hand To Keep Your Vision Clear
You Are Stronger Than You Know, And Wiser Than Your Years
So Step Into Tomorrow And Let Go Of Your Fears
Chorus
And I Want You To Know How Proud I Am Of You
For The Kindness In Your Heart And Everything You Do
As You Walk Down Those New Halls And Follow Your Own Star
Never Lose The Magic Of Exactly Who You Are
Go Make Your Own Path, Stand Tall And Be Brave
You’re The Greatest Gift That Life Ever Gave
Bridge
If The Road Gets Heavy Or You Ever Lose Your Way
Just Look Into Your Heart And Remember What I Say
Distance Cannot Change The Love We Carry Inside
Every Step You Take, I Am Beaming With Pride
You Are Never On Your Own, Even When We’re Apart
You Hold A Permanent Place Right Here In My Heart
[Guitar Solo}
Chorus
And I Want You To Know How Proud I Am Of You
For The Kindness In Your Heart And Everything You Do
As You Walk Down Those New Halls And Follow Your Own Star
Never Lose The Magic Of Exactly Who You Are
Go Make Your Own Path, Stand Tall And Be Brave
You’re The Greatest Gift That Life Ever Gave
