I’ve come a long way from weeing in pyjama bottoms

Too shy and bottling up my problems

And that was when I wouldn’t even tell you nothing

And that some baggage that I’ve had since I was a kid

I did some weird stuff when I was a kid

Teenage years, yeah I became a little shit

Answering back and always giving it the lip

I had so much anger making me physically sick

Oh, but we smile through it ‘cause that’s what were taught

The Body Keeps The Score - don’t go asking for support

And even if you dare its unavailable as far as they can tell this individual’s highly capable because I made it happen with a a plan

But there’s so many little pieces to a man

And all these other voices that I’ve silence in the past I’m asking them to stand up on the stage and raise their hand

Its time for them to have a voice and take the mic

‘Cause its not easy being the one that people like

It’s harder still to be the one that people love

Who knew love would make for a hard life, it’s a hard life

 

Stood upon this hill there’s so much that I can see

The Gherkin, The Shard and The National Gallery

In amongst the landmarks there’s little bits of me

I see my wedding day - plain as photography

I see my first born child

Yeah they’re just like me

Hopelessly devoted to their insecurities

Struggling through their adolescence, saying its a breeze

Wondering why their parents are forcing them to eat their greens

I see other things too

The timeline of you

Your first born child

Yeah, they’re just like you!

Looking out for everyone and always on the move

A smile to make the traffic stop and eyes of greeny blue

Volunteering at the homeless shelter making the soup

Swear to make a difference even if for just a few

Yeah they’re just like you

Through and through

Conclusive proof

I swear its true

Take a look at all our friends their still living their best

Tehmeena, Damo, Wallyce, Mikey, Pippa and Steph

Shining like Adobes put on special effects

Still waking up on Sundays not quite feeling their best

And, I need to catch my breath

Turn the page just to see what’s next

I guess I’ve made my bed?

Maybe now ill finally get some rest
