I'm trying to find the words to tell you

And I really don't want to hurt you but

Through your eyes I'm everything but grown

You say I can handle the world alone

But you haven't given me a chance to be free

Someday his grace will shine right down on me

Opening up the gates to all my dreams

It's gonna come somehow, someway



I know it's hard you never thought

The day would come when we would part

No one can take your place here in my heart



But I'm controlled

And you know someday

You've got to let me go

So just open up your heart

And see that all I want

Is the key to my soul

Just one moment to call my own

I'm controlled

And the time will come

You'll have to let me go

So don't be scared

And try to understand

Why I need time for me

But please listen



For so long I've been praying for the night

Anticipating just the right time

I can take my breath of life

And I always knew I was headed for the sun

I'll reach for the stars

If I could just touch one

I know it's out there somewhere



I know it's hard you never thought

The day would come when we would part

No one can take your place here in my heart



But I'm controlled

And you know someday

You've got to let me go

So just open up your heart

And see that all I want

Is the key to my soul

Just one moment to call my own

I'm controlled

And the time will come

You'll have to let me go

So don't be scared

And try to understand

Why I need time for me



I've got to stay faithful to my dreams

Just be strong, don't give up

It'll be alright, hold on tight

I've got my wings now I can fly



But I'm controlled

And you know someday

You've got to let me go

So just open up your heart

And see that all I want

Is the key to my soul

Just one moment to call my own

I'm controlled

And the time will come

You'll have to let me go

So don't be scared

And try to understand

Why I need time for me



I'm controlled

And you know someday

You've got to let me go

So just open up your heart

And see that all I want

Is the key to my soul

Just one moment to call my own

I'm controlled

And the time will come

You'll have to let me go

So don't be scared

And try to understand

Why I need time for me
