Lyrics
When the apple don't fall far from the tree
Its seeds won't grow anymore.
There's protection and shade
Comfort and grace
But without sun and space there's no life
Little birds don't fly high till they're given a push
By their broken hearted mother's.
But before they can tell
They're up in the air
No worry or care just the sky
(And I know - I've got to go away
For me to grow - I can't let myself stay
Through struggle and strife I'll make myself stronger
If I wait anymore it'll just take longer)
Before the broom sedge needs mowing I better get going.
I've got to make a home of my own
I'll miss them I know
But there's not far to go
The rain, sun, and snow will soon pass
(And I know - I've got to go away
For me to grow - I can't let myself stay
Through struggle and strife I'll make myself stronger
If I wait anymore it'll just take longer)
