When i was young you waited patiently for me to grow You smiling down, your hand in mine, but i didn't know A voice i'd heard all of my life locked away in my insides Now whispering "it's time to go" So i told all i know goodbye You told me that you don't change When everything around me did And when i raw away you said there's no trespass you won't forgive Sometimes it feels like when i was small The way that you still smile at me And after all these years you're still the one that i thought you would be The world says that you are someone you are not To know you better i've had to forget what i've been taught And if the whole world decides to turn its back on you I'll be right here Because they don't know you the way that i do I once had lots of family who all have gone away The storm came down and shook our house They decided not to stay They feared the wind and rain and fled for their lives but i didn't care I stayed and waited for the storm to pass I knew you were there
