Mothers and fathers raise up boys and girls
Give 'em love and care and send 'em out into the world
Prayin' to God they done the best they can
Never felt more proud than the day they saw em stand...
On their own, On their own
Taking their first steps now, starting to explore
The day is bittersweet when they need your hands no more
Trying to find his own way, mistakes soon are at hand
Can't you see him now? He's becoming his own man...
On his own, on his own
I remember clearly, the day I said goodbye
I could see you there as you hung your head and cried
As I was driving from the place I called my home
Couldn't help but feel, just a little bit alone
On my own, on my own
Hold onto the ones you love and the things you know
And remember they'll only help you grow
