Circa 1985/1986?

I do not need to be your mother.

I do not need to hold your hand.

I do not need to push you harder.

Life is now under your command.

--------------------------

I am not here to be a protector.

I am not here to be a friend.

I am not here to give you a lecture.

Life is yours now until the end.

---------------------------

This is the beginning, kid,

Of a brand new day.

It is waiting for your promise

And to lead it whichever way.

----------------------------

You can take your time

Getting right on your feet.

There won't be any Sergeant 

Giving you conditions to meet.

---------------------------

This is the beginning, kid,

Of a brand new day.

It is waiting for your promise

And to lead it whichever way.

---------------------------

There are too many of you

Out there for the first time.

The shakers and the movers

Exist within all of your minds.

---------------------------

Responsibility is a pretty big word.

Can you even spell it?

You might be ready to face it,

But are you ready to take it?

-----------------------------

This is the beginning, kid,

Of a brand new day.

It is waiting for your promise

And to lead it whichever way.
