I can see it in your eyes that you are restless
The time has come for you to leave
It�??s so hard to let you go but in this life I know
You have to be who you were made to be
As you step out on the road I�??ll say a prayer
So that in my heart you always will be there
[Chorus:]
This is not goodbye
I know we�??ll meet again
So let your life begin
�??Cause this is not goodbye
It�??s just �??I love you�?� to take with you
Until you�??re home again
The stirring in your soul has left you wondering
Should you stay or turn around
Well, just remember that your dreams they are a promise
That you were made to change the world
So don�??t let fear stop you now �??cause
[Chorus]
I know the brightest star above
Was created by the One who loved
More than we�??ll ever know
To guide you when you�??re lost
What started as a still, small voice
Is raging now and your only choice
Is to follow who you are
So follow who you are �??cause
This is not goodbye
I know we�??ll meet again
Oh
[Chorus]
