Here you are on the verge Of your very first road trip All grown up Ready to set the world on fire So much excitement Running through your veins Ready to discover a whole new world Even when it rains There’s no need to wish you luck Look at the person you’ve become There’s no doubt You’re ready to leave home Make the world your own Look at...
