The Future

Oh look down upon your feet
This road is yours to take
Look ahead,
That is yours too
All the stars shine brightly
To guide you
Reach out, this hand is here for you
Mother, so kind
You gave everything to me
A torch to hold
A heart of gold
Words to live for, to help me
You said love to not forget
Being young i did not understand
But you held my hand,
Walked along with me
Dreams are always up high
Hanging from our reach
But that's what keeps us striding on
Through clouds of uncertainty
This road is my story
Why would i give up?
What have i to lose?
Blank pages before me
Are crying out for words
Mother, so kind
I apologize for the times
I turned away
Oh look down upon your feet
This road is yours to take
Look ahead,
That is yours too
All the stars shine brightly
To guide you
Reach out, this hand is here for you
Mother, so kind
I apologize for the times
I turned away
Oh look down upon your feet
This road is yours to take
Look ahead,
That is yours too
All the stars shine brightly
To guide you
Reach out, this hand is here for you
Oh look down upon your feet
This road is yours to take
Look ahead,
That is yours too
All the stars shine brightly
To guide you
Reach out, this hand is here for you
I can see in front of me
A sky of colours
From red to gold
Reach out, reach out this hand is here to hold you
Reach out, reach out this hand is here to guide you
Reach out, reach out this hand is here to hold you
Reach out, reach out this hand is here to guide you
