He won't be lonely again
At least not alone for a long time
You could see on his face he was ready to run
And that's what he did
His friends were amazed
They'd never seen him quite like this
One of them said we won't see him again
Except Christmas and New Year
Boys, you ain't lost him
It's just she needs him more
CHORUS
And we're helpless to changes
Cos you say goodbye don't mean the love dies
You move on
And it's changes that make or break us
So hard to let go
It's out of our control
Just let a soul grow
They get married, have a boy, he's 3
Suddenly 3 turns to 13... so quickly
17 comes and he's ready to run
Just like his dad did
He's out with his friends celebrating
Dad's asleep, mum's still crying
[CHORUS]
Grow,grow, grow, let a soul grow
Just let go and we grow
Cos we're helpless to changes
Cos you say goodbye don't mean the love dies
It's changes that make or break us
So hard to let go
It's out of our control
Just let a soul grow
Let them grow
Gotta let them go, let them grow,
That's all I'm gonna say.
At least not alone for a long time
You could see on his face he was ready to run
And that's what he did
His friends were amazed
They'd never seen him quite like this

Cos you say goodbye don't mean the love dies
You move on

[CHORUS]
Grow,grow, grow, let a soul grow
Just let go and we grow
Cos we're helpless to changes
Cos you say goodbye don't mean the love dies
It's changes that make or break us
So hard to let go
It's out of our control
Just let a soul grow
Let them grow
Gotta let them go, let them grow,
That's all I'm gonna say.
