Verse 1
You’re still my little boy, but all too soon a man
Each day as we walk to school, I want to hold your hand
But as the time goes by, you’re much too old for that
I’m not prepared to let you go; someday you’ll understand
Pre-Chorus 1
It’s not that I don’t trust you; it’s the world I don’t trust
So much I need to say before you’re free and all grown up
Chorus
I can’t tell you where you’re going but I can tell you where I’ve been
Remember Whose you are with each footstep you walk in
I can’t always be there at your side but you’re forever in my heart
Just be strong, and let Jesus walk you home
Verse 2
Years have come and gone and that little boy is grown
But the man that stands before me is the child I’ve always known
I’ve shown you how to love, and taught you how to live
Given you the knowledge and the wisdom to forgive
Pre-Chorus 2
Sometimes you’ll mistakes; you may wander far from home
Just take the hand of Jesus and you’ll never walk alone
Bridge
When it’s time to pass along the lessons that have made you strong
Trust your heart in sharing all these simple words of love
