They start off so small you wonder how they
Can survive in this rough and tumble world of today
they fall down and get up and fall down again
Through the tears and the smiles they are starting to grow up

Then they head out to school and you want to be
Part of their lives you have dreams you can see
As they find their own balance they start pushing away
you cannot believe that they don’t want to play with you

Cause, They got that look in their eye
They are ready to head out and ride
Let them rise and fall like the tide
Watch them reach for the prize

They grow up so fast you cannot believe
That in just a short time they be ready to leave
Did we teach them enough will they find their own way?
I hope that we have there’s not much left to say

Cause, They got that look in their eye
They are ready to head out and ride
Let them rise and fall like the tide
Watch them reach for the prize

Now they are driving to parties,
they got girls to see
The more you want from them,
the less they can be
You struggle to keep up but you soon realize
You’ve done what you can; you let them reach for the prize

They got that look in their eye
They are ready to head out and ride
Let them rise and fall like the tide
Help them reach for the prize

They got that look in their eye
They are ready to head out and ride
Let them rise and fall like the tide
Watch them reach for prize
Sit back and see, what they can be and watch them reach for the prize
