(Verse 1)
Streetlights painting shadows on the wall
Thinking ’bout you, hearing your call
Remember those days, bright eyes full of glee
Now you’re standing on the verge, just like me

(Chorus)
What do I want for you, more than anything?
I want you to be blessed, let your spirit sing
I don’t want you to stumble, fall and scrape your knees
I don’t want you to make the same mistakes I made, if you please

(Verse 2)
I see the choices laid out in your hand
The promises whispered by the promised land
But the path is winding, the shadows run deep
And the lessons learned are secrets I can’t keep

(Chorus)
What do I want for you, more than anything?
I want you to be blessed, let your spirit sing
I don’t want you to stumble, fall and scrape your knees
I don’t want you to make the same mistakes I made, if you please

(Bridge)
Tried to guide you, tried to show the way
But youth is reckless, it has to have its day
Now I see the fire burning in your soul…
