Lyrics

0:00作曲 : Jean Coyle-Larner/Jordan Rakei
0:12作词 : Jean Coyle-Larner/Jordan Rakei
0:25I've watched you grow, from first kick, to first kiss
0:28Shoulder rides to sleepless nights
0:33Felt tip crows to scoring goals, and bedtime Katamino
0:42Watched you hold your own from boy to man
0:39As you stand firm, bare and bold, not afraid to walk alone
0:46Reveal your pain. Unique. Defiant. Uncompromising
0:53And with our compass lost, we talked long into the darkest hours
0:54Until we saw the burnished sky, and our eyes stung as our words blurred and became thoughts
1:07As we were silenced by the dawn
1:05We clung to each other like sailors in a storm as our world pitched and bucked, our breath stolen by grief
1:16But you stood strong, filled such big boots
1:16Gripped to the helm and steered us on into the calm
1:16Abandoned your lifetime ambition, to hold us down
1:26Took on a different mission, while we were turned inside out, raw and gaping
1:26But you wrapped us up in your dream, realised your vision and fed us with your words of power
1:32Like buccaneers, we sailed the seven seas and drank in the wonders of your world, and returned giddy with the heady smell of your success
1:45And when that time came, oh did we weep,
1:46but the tears that streaked our cheeks were stained with glee because we knew that this was not goodbye,
1:59that you'd be back, that you'd never really left
2:02Because love does not lessen by miles it's not locked out by doors or walls,
2:06but reinforced in thought and heart
2:10It cannot be lost like a key or a sock,
2:13or left behind in a box, it is present in each and every breath and flows deep with every beat and deed
2:24It may not be your presence but it's your essence that remains.
2:27Forever dancing like glitter in our air
2:26And now it's as clear to me my beautiful boy,
2:33as naked as the joy that caresses the creases of your eye,
2:37that you've finally found your one, your golden snitch, and my task is done
2:47For I've gained a daughter
2:45I've not lost a son
2:48Ma, [sigh] you wait till Emily hears that, you wait till the world hears that, Fuuuuuu
2:59Do you like it?
3:03It's even better than the first one
3:08Oh my days
