A Letter to My Folks
Mother, do you think because you left to find relief
That I don't trust in you, I trust in you
'Cause you are everything to me that I find fun and true
I'm proud of you
When I need to escape to a mother's den
You draw me in
And you speak to me as if you see me as your friend
Your only friend
Father, do you think 'cause you lost everything
I don't admire you, because I do
'Cause you are everything to me that I find smart and brave
I wear your face
Where do I go when I need to be put in place
My sense replaced
As you hold me, your scent brings me home
Safe at home
Where do I go when you circle your eyes like that
I'm feeling fine
Everything that you both laid out on the line
Well I turned out quite alright
Through every wave of water
Through every mountain pass your love is shown
(Though separated on the trek
You both are doing just fine on your own)
I'll always hold you closer
As I wonder through the forest and the sea
(To take my mothers nature
And to fight with all my fathers bravery)
I think I am a lucky one
To see both sides of everything at once
(To be a part of someone else
To see how many people that I was)
To carry with me at all times
(The strength to to make it as far as you once did)
And to never take it from your eyes
The shining light you hold so tight
The thing that helps you sleep at night
And as long as I am still alive
Well, I'll always be your precious little kid
I'll always be your precious little kid
That I don't trust in you, I trust in you
'Cause you are everything to me that I find fun and true
I'm proud of you
When I need to escape to a mother's den
You draw me in
And you speak to me as if you see me as your friend
Your only friend
Father, do you think 'cause you lost everything
I don't admire you, because I do
'Cause you are everything to me that I find smart and brave
I wear your face
Where do I go when I need to be put in place
My sense replaced
As you hold me, your scent brings me home
Safe at home
Where do I go when you circle your eyes like that
I'm feeling fine
Everything that you both laid out on the line
Well I turned out quite alright
Through every wave of water
Through every mountain pass your love is shown
(Though separated on the trek
You both are doing just fine on your own)
I'll always hold you closer
As I wonder through the forest and the sea
(To take my mothers nature
And to fight with all my fathers bravery)
I think I am a lucky one
To see both sides of everything at once
(To be a part of someone else
To see how many people that I was)
To carry with me at all times
(The strength to to make it as far as you once did)
And to never take it from your eyes
The shining light you hold so tight
The thing that helps you sleep at night
And as long as I am still alive
Well, I'll always be your precious little kid
I'll always be your precious little kid
