Yeah, whoop
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's 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 we're taught
Body keeps the score, don't go asking for support
And even if you dare, it's unavailable
As far as they can tell, this individual's highly capable
Because I made it happen with the plan
But there's so many little pieces to a man
And all these other voices that I've silenced in the past
I'm asking them to stand up on the stage and raise their hand
It's time for them to have a voice and take the mic
'Cause it's 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
ย
Yeah
La-la-la, yeah
Stood upon this hill, there's so much for me to 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 it's a breeze
Wondering why their parents forcing them to eat their greens
I see other things too, the town I know 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 are greeny-blue
Volunteering at the homeless shelter making 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 it's true
Take a look at all our friends, they're still living their best
Tahmina, Damo, Wallis, 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 I'll finally get some rest
