about

Mom was always encouraging me to try my best, to go, go, go get it, whatever I wanted to do. And I did my best at that. This song is for her.

lyrics

Here I am, up late again, wonder I got any thing left
Except all this restlessness. That’s the main thing that you left—to me
And I’m missing you again
What I can’t forget, I can’t pretend, when you said...

Go go go, to follow all my fears
You said go go go, and never shed a tear, and
Oh how I have grown, Now I’m on my own
No matter where I am I am alone, you said
Go go go, and go again

Here I am, awake again, wondering if you are still alive
Somewhere in the ecosphere, somewhere far beyond the empty sky
And I’m missing you again, beginning and the end
What I can’t forget and what I can’t pretend, when you said...

Go go go, to follow all my fears
You said go go go, and never shed a tear
And oh how I have grown, Now I’m on my own
No matter where I am I am alone, you said
go go go, and go again

How you would always miss me, a gypsy in a mystery, and the
Only one who dared to give me life
Like you were always saying , you were never good at staying, but
Remember that you’re always on my side

Go go go, to follow all my fears
You said go go go, and never shed a tear
And oh how I have grown, now I’m on my own
No matter where I am I am alone, you said

Go go go, to follow all my fears, you said
Go go go, and never shed a tear, and
Oh how I have grown, Now I’m on my own
No matter where I’ll never be alone, you said
Go go go, and go again!
