Tell mama you'll be okay

 Tell her stay calm

Tell daddy it's much too late

 To twist your arm

 It's time to go and find something that's yours

 That no one can steal away

 Yeah, it's time to open the doors

 To your secret place

 There's no answer as big as the question

 There's no victory as big as the lesson

 You go on and you see where your detours will take you to

 There's no power like understanding

 There's no beginning like an open ending

 You hold on, you don't stop to believe, If you follow through

 You will learn what is good for you

Someday soon

 You will know what is best for you

Tell mama, it'll be alright

 Tell her have faith

 It's time to go and find something that'll last

 And no one can lose or break

 It's time to own up to the task

 And go make your own mistakes

 There's no answer as big as the question

 There's no victory as big as the lesson

 You go on and you see where your detours will take you to

 There's no power like understanding

 There's no beginning like an open ending

 You hold on, you don't stop to believe, If you follow through

 You will learn what is good for you

Someday soon

 You will know what is best for you
