Did you plan out the names

Of the kids that you’d have?

From the very first moment I looked in your eyes

You taught me about love as you stared into mine

You’re holding the hands of the new little life that you made

You brought me back home and I started to cry

When I started running, I knew I was running to you

The start of the story of everything I’ll ever be

Time passing by

But I shook off your hand, when you tried to hold it

when I look back, I still the pain on your face
B
All my mistakes, it can’t have been easy

To hold all the space for hurting and healing

So many reasons for you to not love me the same

How lucky am I, that nothing could come in between

Now that I’m grown well into my story
F#
I finally know how much you did for me

I may be a man, but I’m still a boy in your arms

When you start to stumble, your mind starts to go
F#
I’ll tell you the stories that you always told
G#m E
You’ll know I love you as I hold your hand in the dark
F# G#m Em
I’ll sing you to sleep, the one who gave me air to breathe
N.C.
My mumma and me
