Just a child staring down the drive
My father's hand on the seat
Training wheels tossed to the side
Pedals heavy under my feet
I trusted he would keep me safe
There was so much left to learn
But that hand pushed and let go
As the wheels began to turn
Bridge:
Lost and found at the same time
Goodbye is just hello
The reason I can ride today is
'Cuz someone once let me go
Chorus:
Sometimes you're gonna crash and fall
Scraping up both your knees
Sometimes pain is overwhelming
'Cuz life comes with no guarantees
But with every wreck survived
One thing I came to know
The only way I ride today is because
Someone once let me go
Just a year past graduation
A man in name alone
Holding the hand of my first love
Unaware of where we were goin'
She would keep my heart safe
Or so it seemed back then
But when she gave away that hand
It was to one I thought a friend
Bridge:
Lost and found at the same time
Goodbye is just hello
The reason I can ride today is
'Cuz someone once let me go
Chorus:
Sometimes you're gonna crash and fall
Scraping up both your knees
Sometimes pain is overwhelming
'Cuz life comes with no guarantees
But with every wreck survived
One thing I came to know
The only way I ride today is because
Someone once let me go
So much that I didn't know
Lessons learned on the hard way
Every single one of them
Led me where I am at today
The hand inside of mine now
The life we've begun to grow
Only could happen because
Someone once let me go
Chorus:
Sometimes you're gonna crash and fall
Scraping up both your knees
Sometimes pain is overwhelming
'Cuz life comes with no guarantees
But with every wreck survived
One thing I came to know
The only way I ride today is because
Someone once let me go
