Lyrics
Mother
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I had a lot of heart when I was young, until I lost it
As I grew older I missed every single second of it
But you told me look ahead to the horizon
Any fool would see the past is too far to back to worry
But I know that you know this is a different situation
And you know that deep down you know it's all for you
Chin up kid you're counting down the minutes
Life's too short and you know that you're ready for it
Chin up kid you're counting down the minutes
Chin up kid
Chin up kid
Mother, I'm letting you know
That I can see clearly as I'm growing old
Father, I want you to know
That all your faith in me meant a lot you know
It meant a lot you know
There's a silence deep inside my eyes
Full of hidden tears I'll never cry
This broken home kept me safe and warm when the wind was colder still
I've had a lot of things to say
But the words got lost in me
(As the time ticks on and the story grows)
You know it's all for you
Chin up kid you're counting down the minutes
Life's too short and you know that you're ready for it
Chin up kid you're counting down the minutes
Chin up kid
Chin up kid
Mother, I'm letting you know
That I can see clearly as I'm growing old
Father, I want you to know
That all your faith in me meant a lot you know
It meant a lot you know
It meant a lot you know
When I'm falling down (chin up kid)
And I can't get out (chin up kid)
You guide the way (chin up kid)
Nights you shine
It's you
It's you
It's you
It's you that I hold on to
Mother, I'm letting you know
That I can see clearly as I'm growing old
Father, I want you to know
That all your faith in me meant a lot you know
It meant a lot you know
Chin up kid you're counting down the minutes
Life's too short and you know that you're ready for it
(It meant a lot you know)
Chin up kid you're counting down the minutes
Chin up kid
Chin up kid
