And I watched you leaving   A siloutte of all the times we shared   And there's no reason   For you to turn around and come back here   I guess I knew that   You'd grow up to be the woman that you are   But now that you're leaving   I never thought the day would come so soon      But you gotta be free   To walk down the path of uncertainty   You gotta believe yeah   That you're gonna make it yeah   You gotta be free   To take the chances that you need to take   You gotta believe yeah   That you're gonna make it yeah      I thought I saw you   Smilin down at me from a billboard sign   I guess I'm lookin just a little too hard   And I thought I heard you   Singin to me from the broadway stage   And you were a queen there who finally found her star   I can't deny that you're a dreamer   I watched you spread your wings and fly away forever   But when you said goodbye I knew      That you gotta be free   To walk down the path of uncertainty   You gotta believe yeah   That you're gonna make it yeah   You gotta be free   To take the chances that you need to take   You gotta believe yeah   That you're gonna make it yeah      I still remember when I looked into your baby blue eyes   I remember thinking that you can be what you want to be   Thanks for all your help dad   I understand why you're so sad   But there's a world out there for me so I must be on my way      You gotta be free   To walk down the path of uncertainty   You gotta believe yeah   That you're gonna make it      You got to be free [Walk down the path of uncertainty]   And I hope you're still believing [You just got to believe]   That you're gonna make it [That you're gonna make it]   Cause I watched you leavin   And I knew that you just got to be free   Yeah
