I send you off to school today, my precious little boy Hand-in-hand we reach the gate – trepidation mixed with joy I hold you close and kiss your hair before I say goodbye And hope that you won’t see the tears that slowly fill my eyes I wish you well in school today, my precious little boy An adventure to embark upon; a journey to enjoy I know it may be tough at times; I know you might be scared But I’ll be there to guide you through; to help you be prepared I filled your bag with dreams today, my precious little boy For you to use – to pick and choose, to keep among your toys Your dreams can lead you anywhere; don’t be afraid to go To find the ones that touch your heart and set it all aglow So study hard and dare to dream; be all that you can be It’s up to you to choose your path; whatever sets you free I want you to be happy; to do what brings you joy And this is all I seek for you, my precious little boy
