| Wave goodbye to your mother
|
| You’re no longer a child of the world
|
| No longer a boy or a girl
|
| The past is safely behind you
|
| Memory fades and
|
| Time brings change to everyone
|
| It’s time to rule with the sun
|
| In casting a new shadow
|
| Did you see the way that I was?
|
| Did you see the way that I was?
|
| Did you see the way that I was when I was down?
|
| All I need is a helping hand
|
| Someone safe to guide my landing
|
| Back from beyond
|
| Everybody has their time in the firing line
|
| And this time it’s mine to take a couple of rounds
|
| It’s okay to feel down
|
| Those who laugh become the joke
|
| As their bellies start to bloat
|
| Into great big balloons
|
| While I’m singing tunes, tunes about you
|
| Did you see the way that I was?
|
| Did you see the way that I was?
|
| Did you see the way that I was when I was down?
|
| All I need is a helping hand
|
| Someone safe to guide my landing
|
| Back from beyond
|
| Happy now, are we? |
| Happy now?
|
| Happy now, are we? |
| In our hearts
|
| Did you see the way that I was?
|
| Did you see the way that I was?
|
| Did you see the way that I was when I was down?
|
| All I need is a helping hand
|
| Someone safe to guide my landing
|
| Back from beyond |
