Lyrics:
1st Day of preschool, balled up fists, and curly hair Wide eyed you saw a band of buddies there Relaxed your fist and grinned And turned to your new friends Bye Daddy, I think I’m gonna leave…(and off you went)
A few ballgames later, suddenly you turn six-teen Snappin awkward pics at the DM-V Raced your truck to Sonic For chili tots with extra cheese Thanks mama, I think I’m gonna leave
If you say you’re gonna leave you’re goin’ somewhere But the place we wanna be is where you are Though now is not the time, You’re forever on our mind We hope you always know we’re not too far, If you say you’re gonna leave, you’re goin’ somewhere….
Left for college, learned some life, but just not happy A mornin’ text, said “This is not my thing”, Well son, you’re not alone It’s ok when you know… Pack up and come on home. -It’s time to leave.
If you say you’re gonna leave you’re goin’ somewhere What matters most is knowin’ who you are Though now is not the time, It’s ok to change your mind By now you oughta know, we’re not too far, If you say you’re gonna leave, you’re goin’ somewhere….
Got your dream job, met a girl, and fell in love, We knew soon, you’d move, to your own place, We ate we laughed we hugged, but it’d never be enough, It was the last time here on Earth --we’d see your face
We got a late-night call, that broke our hearts, and bowed our knees We believe - that there must be,- a plan that we can’t see When First Responders told us your last words, they brought us peace, I’m gonna leave, I’m gonna leave….
We know Somewhere is eternal Somewhere’s full of love and full of joy Somewhere’s a shining city, clear pure water golden streets— And Somewhere is where God is And also where you are. And that someday, Somewhere is where—we’ll also be…
If you say you’re gonna leave you’re going somewhere And we believe we know just where you are And though it was your time You’re forever on our mind And we got hope and Somewhere’s not too far. If you say you’re gonna leave, you’re goin’ somewhere….
-Oh and someday down the road, we’ll see you Somewhere.
