about

A song written in the 90's for a friend leaving for college-- and updated to reflect my pride and excitement in my son's coming of age.

lyrics

Go
Holly Kirsten
October 12, 2017

I made a mental picture of you and stowed it away
How the tattered cover makes me smile
I can’t keep myself from opening the pages
I must climb back in and stay there for a while

You survey the widening sky as you knowingly play
Nearing time to rise, take wing and fly
Your heart calls you far beyond these branches
I will lift you as your wingtips span the miles

So go, you’ll make me proud anywhere you are
So go, and know your family is here for you,
So go

If ever you are quieted and lonely
If ever sadness falls upon your eyes
Please rest in the knowledge you are worthy
We are with you and we love you all the time

So go, you’ll make me proud anywhere you are
So go, and know your family is here for you,
So go, I know you’ll make the world a better place
So go, and know your family is here for you,
So go.

Holly Kirsten Virginia Beach, Virginia

I have been singing, creating new songs, and playing stringed instruments for as long as I can remember. I love sharing music with others and have played with several local bands in the Hampton Roads region.

I also produce my own music. All the songs that you hear are, with the exception of a few special appearances, my own creation. ... more
