Don't you cry, don't you look so sad
We both knew somehow this day would come
I know you want what is best for me
And I need to see you smile
From where I started off to where I am
It's a million miles, I can't go back there again
But no matter where I go from here
You will be part of me from now on
For every door that opens up
When another has to close (another)
(Has to close) you gotta trust me now
Be strong and let me go
Watch me now as I go my way
The time has come and I've gotta say I'm not afraid
Watch me now, every step I take
I feel stronger, so much stronger
The road ahead is a mystery
Your love is here, oh, and I believe it's guiding me
Watch me now, I can stand my ground
I will be alright, yes, I'll be alright
You were someone who believed in me
When I wasn't even sure of myself
And I always will remember how
You were always there to help
And I learned so many things from you
And I'm ready now to try them out in the world
Though it hurts so much to say goodbye
We both know (we both know) that there's no other way
I will feel your loving arms
When I'm out there in the cold
'Cause all of my thoughts of you
Will still be mine to hold
Watch me now as I go my way
The time has come and I've gotta say I'm not afraid
Watch me now, every step I take
I feel stronger, so much stronger
The road ahead is a mystery
Your love is here, oh, and I believe it's guiding me
Watch me now, I can stand my ground
I will be alright, yes, I'll be alright
You will find me runnin' back sometime
When I really need a guidin' hand
We'll be closer than we were before
And I know that you will understand
I know you'll understand
Watch me now as I go my way
The time has come and I've gotta say I'm not afraid
Watch me now, every step I take
(I feel stronger) I feel stronger, so much stronger
(So much stronger, baby) the road ahead is a mystery
Your love is here, oh, and I believe it's guiding me
Watch me now, I can stand my ground
I will be alright, yes, I'll be alright
Oh, I will be alright
