Wind blowin' on my face
Sidewalk flyin' beneath my bike
A five year-old's first taste
Of what freedom's really like
He was runnin' right beside me
His hand holdin' on the seat
I took a deep breath and hollered
As I headed for the street

You can let go now, Daddy
You can let go
Oh, I think I'm ready
To do this on my own
It's still a little bit scary
But I want you to know
I'll be okay now, Daddy
You can let go

It was my first official battle, and my daddy was teaching me to fight! It was a weak demon, but he told me that it was good to start small and work our way up! That's why Kami makes us so small when were born. He was coaching me the whole way, we mirrored each other's moves. But I wanted do it on my own, so I pulled him aside... the demons weren't going anywhere and even if they did there's hundreds of them everywhere. "What is it Botan?" Daddy asked looking down at me with a sceptical look. "I want to kill them myself Daddy!" He gasped at this statement "Botan, you're not ready," He replied cruely "Daddy please! I know I can handle it! PLEEASE!" I begged giving him the puppy eyes. "Fine. But be careful, I don't want you getting hurt," He gave me little push, he was always so nice when no one else was around. Sure enough I killed one of the little rodents with one swipe.

I was standin' at the altar
Between the two loves of my life
To one I've been a daughter
To one I soon would be a wife
When the preacher asked,
'Who gives this woman?'
Daddy's eyes filled up with tears
He kept holdin' tightly to my arm
'Til I whispered in his ear

You can let go now, Daddy
You can let go
Oh, I think I'm ready
To do this on my own
It's still a little bit scary
But I want you to know
I'll be okay now, Daddy
You can let go

Today I was getting married, oh I was so happy. I took my mother's advice and had a western wedding. It was splendid, long white dress, and an amazing veil. But my favourite part about it was my Daddy got to walk me down the aisle. Just before we made to were Taka standing waiting patiently, Daddy stopped abruptly. "Daddy what's wrong?" I inquired kind of worried. "I don't want to give you away Botan," I almost though he was going cry. "Daddy isn't that a bit selfish?" I pushed a little further trying to get him to walk "I don't care; You're my little girl!" He whispered sternly "Daddy it's okay, I'll be fine. I will always be you're little girl, but you have to let me go," I reassured him. He gave me a small unnoticable hug and continued walking me down the aisle. It really was a beautiful wedding.

It was killin' me to see
The strongest man I ever knew
Wastin' away to nothin'
In that hospital room
'You know he's only hangin' on for you'
That's what the night nurse said
My voice and heart were breakin'
As I crawled up in his bed, and said

You can let go now, Daddy
You can let go
Your little girl is ready
To do this on my own
It's gonna be a little bit scary
But I want you to know
I'll be okay now, Daddy
You can let go
You can let go

I walked into the room, and there he was my Daddy was sitting on his death bed a very solemn look on his face. I sat down next to and wrapped my arms around him "Daddy," I cried into his shoulder. His hand caressed my cheek "Botan, my dear daughter. It may be the end of my life, but it is only the beginning of yours. Live it well, and you won't have any regrets. I love you Botan..." His hand dropped and eyes started to silver over. "Daddy! I promise I will not let you down. I love you too!" I hugged him tighter as I heard his final words "So much undone..." I cried, and placed him down gently... he was gone. I walked outside into the hallway that was all to familiar, when I saw someone I hadn't seen in decades; Uncle Inuyasha. "He's gone uncle! I can't believe he's gone!" I cried hugging my dearly beloved uncle. He was all I had left now...
