This song makes me cry ...

I'm at work, listening to my iPod.
Mumsdollar, a Kiwi Christian punk band.
They're good!

But this song always makes me tear up ...

LET ME GO

In summer when sun shines you watched me as I play
In autumn when leaves fall I ran to you with joy
In winter when it's cold here you tucked me in at night
In springtime when flowers bloom you held my hand when I flew my kite

But it's time to let me go
I'm not your boy tonight
Forever grateful to this day
But now I'm my own shadow

In the old days, the good times
I knew you were invincible
As time flies, through divine eyes
You're a shade more vulnerable
Step aside now don't cry now
You know it's hard to say goodbye

But it's time to let me go
I'm not your boy tonight
Forever grateful to this day
But now I'm my own shadow

And as a lion cub grows and leaves mum
It's time to release me and let me move on
You know that tomorrow I'll still be your son
You know that I'll run home when things get rough

Let me go

I can't bear the thought of my own boys wanting me to let them go! I want them to always be my babies, to always say "you're the best mumma in the whole world" and to always want to give me cuddles and read books to them.
Why can't I just freeze time and enjoy them before they grow up and ask me to let them go?
