I'm trying to find the words to tell you
And I really don't want to hurt you but
Through your eyes I'm everything but grown
You say I can handle the world alone
But you haven't given me a chance to be free
Someday his grace will shine right down on me
Opening up the gates to all my dreams
It's gonna come somehow, someway

I know it's hard you never thought
The day would come when we would part
No one can take your place here in my heart

But I'm controlled
And you know someday
You've got to let me go
So just open up your heart
And see that all I want
Is the key to my soul
Just one moment to call my own
I'm controlled
And the time will come
You'll have to let me go
So don't be scared
And try to understand
Why I need time for me
But please listen

For so long I've been praying for the night
Anticipating just the right time
I can take my breath of life
And I always knew I was headed for the sun
I'll reach for the stars
If I could just touch one
I know it's out there somewhere

I know it's hard you never thought
The day would come when we would part
No one can take your place here in my heart

But I'm controlled
And you know someday
You've got to let me go
So just open up your heart
And see that all I want
Is the key to my soul
Just one moment to call my own
I'm controlled
And the time will come
You'll have to let me go
So don't be scared
And try to understand
Why I need time for me

I've got to stay faithful to my dreams
Just be strong, don't give up
It'll be alright, hold on tight
I've got my wings now I can fly

But I'm controlled
And you know someday
You've got to let me go
So just open up your heart
And see that all I want
Is the key to my soul
Just one moment to call my own
I'm controlled
And the time will come
You'll have to let me go
So don't be scared
And try to understand
Why I need time for me

I'm controlled
And you know someday
You've got to let me go
So just open up your heart
And see that all I want
Is the key to my soul
Just one moment to call my own
I'm controlled
And the time will come
You'll have to let me go
So don't be scared
And try to understand
Why I need time for me
