I'm trying to find the words to tell you
And I really don't want to hurt you but
Through your eyes I'm everything but grown

You say I can handle the world alone
But you haven't given me a chance to be free
Someday his grace will shine right down on me

Opening up the gates to all my dreams
It's gonna come somehow, someway


I know it's hard you never thought
The day would come when we would part
No one can take your place here in my heart


But I'm controlled
And you know someday

You've got to let me go
So just open up your heart
And see that all I want

Is the key to my soul
Just one moment to call my own
I'm controlled

And the time will come
You'll have to let me go
So don't be scared

And try to understand
Why I need time for me
But please listen


For so long I've been praying for the night
Anticipating just the right time

I can take my breath of life
And I always knew I was headed for the sun
I'll reach for the stars

If I could just touch one
I know it's out there somewhere


I know it's hard you never thought
The day would come when we would part
No one can take your place here in my heart


But I'm controlled
And you know someday

You've got to let me go
So just open up your heart
And see that all I want

Is the key to my soul
Just one moment to call my own
I'm controlled

And the time will come
You'll have to let me go
So don't be scared

And try to understand
Why I need time for me


I've got to stay faithful to my dreams
Just be strong, don't give up
It'll be alright, hold on tight

I've got my wings now I can fly

But I'm controlled

And you know someday
You've got to let me go
So just open up your heart

And see that all I want
Is the key to my soul
Just one moment to call my own

I'm controlled
And the time will come
You'll have to let me go

So don't be scared
And try to understand
Why I need time for me


I'm controlled
And you know someday

You've got to let me go
So just open up your heart
And see that all I want
Is the key to my soul
Just one moment to call my own

I'm controlled
And the time will come
You'll have to let me go
So don't be scared
And try to understand

Why I need time for me
