They say it's time to let go
But I'm stubborn and I won't
Like what do they really know
And all the clouds that I've slain
Well the sky still makes rain
So why must I feel this pain
Ohhh the future is daunting
This feeling is haunting me
Ohhh time is taunting
Galavanting through his embassy
Now I'm basically free
And I can still be me
It's time I grow like a tree
To all the ones I've loved
I leave you a dove
As a sign of the peace I've reached
Ohhh the future is daunting
This feeling is haunting me
Ohhh time may be taunting
But now Ima live freely
I've just turned sixteen
Still got a lot to learn
I know the world's not so clean
But it don't have to burn
I've just turned sixteen
So I got love to give
To my friends and family
You can have it
I've just turned sixteen
Still got a lot to learn
I know the world's not so clean
But it don't have to burn
I've just turned sixteen
So I got love to give
To all my friends and family
You can have it
Ohhh the future's not daunting
There's no ghosts haunting me
Ohhh time may be taunting
But I have you and you have me
I've just turned sixteen
Still got a lot to learn
I know the world's not so clean
But it don't have to burn
I've just turned sixteen
So I got love to give
To my friends and family
You can have it
I've just turned sixteen
Still got a lot to learn
I know the world's not so clean
But it don't have to burn
I've just turned sixteen
So I got love to give
To all my friends and family
You can have it
I've just turned sixteen
With tears in my eyes
I grasp your hand tightly
As I say goodbye
