17 Long Years From First to Last

[Intro]
I'm sorry, but Mom, it's time for me to go
Before you read and never stop losing hope

[Verse]
Now I'm leavin', I'm sure you can go on without me
You'll try to stop me, just let me follow my dreams

[Chorus]
It's been 17 long years (and now I'm leaving you)
It's been 17 long years (just try to wipe away your tears)
I can't explain the way I feel, I can't explain the way I feel

[Refrain]
I'm sorry, but Mom, it's time for me to go
You said never stop losing hope

[Chorus]
It's been 17 long years (and now I'm leaving you)
It's been 17 long years (just try to wipe away your tears)
I can't explain the way I feel, I can't explain the way I feel

It's been 17 long years (and now I'm leaving you)
It's been 17 long years (just try and wipe away your tеars)
I can't explain the way I feel, I can't explain thе way I feel
