Bofolk Ballico - Before Your Eyes Lyrics

You were sitting atop the front steps when I came walking home
I told the teacher that I was sick and I walked on up the road
You fixed it all and you fixed me up, you always kept me safe
I just wanna help you now. I wanna return the favor

Lunch alone before school when it was just you and I
Brown bags and jewellery, each day I made you smile
I'd do it again and I'd grow up twice if only I was given a wish
But I've become a man right before your eyes and now I'm powerless
Powerless

I can't get back the bad days to make all the wrongs right
And I can't fill your days or ease your mind at night
You held me with each migraine but never held too tight
You eased me into dreaming and into a brighter life
Brighter life

I remember looking up and now I see you down
Strong and brave and perfect, each day you make me proud
Please see me tomorrow, please look up to me
I've got things you need to see like the piece of you in me
You in me
You in me
