Time To Move On’ by Millicent Cummings written October 1, 2024
Following my heart can be such a lonely road
I can hardly bare it, sometimes it’s just too personal
I long to share it, for someone else to care for it
I’m daring you to listen
I can’t really talk about it, too many tears in my throat
But it’s way too hard to fake it so I’m gonna write you a song
I long to share it, for you too to care for it
I’m daring you to listen
I’ve been too strong as your mother cuz I’ve been alone
I’ve also had to be your father Oh you’ll never know
And I’ve been too hard on you Darlin’ raising you myself
Playing way too many parts while holdin’ down the fort Oh Lord
No body said it would be easy and you’re not the only one
I’m not invalidating your pain, pain Lord knows I’ll never know
As you’ll never know mine until you’ve children of your own
We gotta forgive one and other for all that we’ve done wrong
We are only human and we’ll always be growin’
Time to move on
Now you are sixteen, a young man who is angry with me
Cuz I could never be everything you’ve wanted me to be
Forgetting all that’s good so damn fixed on what I should
Or shouldn’t have done but I’m daring you to listen
We both need more love and understanding and support
And yet we have just enough, so many blessing to be so grateful for
To make it through this time, seems like a mountain we can’t climb
But we got this if we try and Honey the view will be sublime
Chorus
I love you
