Paralysing fear hits that we won't see the light of day
Pull the petals to decide if we'll be okay
But we're all in the same boat, following a light
It's you, the moon that pushes us on with the tides
You learned things the hard way so we wouldn't have to
You have your own life but you still keep us in your rear view
Of your car to always check that we're doing fine
'Cos the truth is, you're our lifeline
In fifty years we'll look back on our schoolyard days
With nothing but memories of you in our heads
Mold us from nothing but clay and sand
Fixing us up with a potter's hands
Holding tight onto the back of my bicycle
You tell me that theres nothing to worry about
Even if I fall onto the gravel or slam into a tree
I'll learn to stand up and those scars will just be a memory
In fifty years we'll look back on our schoolyard days
With nothing but memories of you in our heads
Mold us from nothing but clay and sand
Fixing us up with a potter's hands
Promise to try to always make you proud
'Cos we know
You'll always stick around
