Days of innocent No cares in the world Playing my guitar Singing my song I've only just started My life has just begun I am an actor on a stage The main part in my own life I live in the moment no care for the past The future ahead of me yet uncast You look at me with envy And with pride and joy on your face I seem to somehow remind you that life's not a race I am young My days are a dream I live my life And do as I please Youth is a wonder A good thing a gift I believe I can be anything I want to be I am a pirate If I choose and the lounge is the ocean And upon it a ship My world is make believe Or so to you it seems Yet When you look at me I see your eyes Shining bright I see inside your soul a burning light You are my teacher Yet you're the one being taught Do you really need me to remind you what life's about You were once like I am now Giving up on your dreams I can't allow I remember when I was small and you held my hand You showed me the world, made me understand When we went for a walk and my legs were small, When I would take ages you didn't mind at all You made me feel loved, you spent your time with me You said I could be anything I wanted to be You showed me the world covered in magical light You lay beside me night after night I stood by your side mum and listened to every word Even the times you thought I'd not heard Thank you for loving me unconditionally no matter what Focusing on what I am and not on what I'm not Thank you for showing me amazing things And making me realise the happiness love brings For all the hugs you gave me where you squeezed me tight And for making even the bad things seem alright So If I give you a kiss and a hug goodnight And just for good luck I squeeze you extra tight If I make you a heart because I thought of you And Write you a note saying I love you forever its because it's true You said it was the simple things that mattered and how people feel, You said being kind and loving is what makes it real I love you mum X
