she was the one they turned to 
when all else had seemed to fail 
she was the one who listened 
who gave herself up through it all 
only so much someone can take 
propping up another’s dreams 
to reach such fame in the eyes of your friends 
surely you were misunderstood
all those secret moments alone 
where you wondered just who you were 
all the love you gave seemed from somewhere else 
something learnt, but never real 
letters from sunken, poor lost souls 
who’d misread the look in your eyes 
taking a shot in the dark at your love 
woman you can leave them all behind 
now your pushing yourself even further 
found the strength to aim for higher ground 
you are your mother
your father 
your sister 
your brother 
all of them are with you inside 
she was the one they turned to 
when they needed a woman’s voice 
she was the one who listened 
and gave out the gentle advice 
when could you break from the image?
Put aside the perfect face? 
Be wrong, be rude, be nasty and cold
Start putting people in their place
Back to the woods where your brother played 
Back to the promises your mother made 
Back to the room where your sister stayed 
Back to the year when you felt the change 
You carried weights not all could see 
But you put them down and you danced with me 
Danced in the summer Danced in the rain 
Danced away the past Danced away the pain 
Out in the country we stood as the lightening cracked 
You told me you had to go on alone and not come back 
you are your mother
your father 
your sister 
your brother 
all of them are with you inside 
they will never, never, never forget you no they’ll 
never, never, never forget you 
when I met you
that night 
you were falling down 
desperately searching 
for a loving sound 
with perfect 
strangers 
in an unknown town 
we fell in together 
until morning 
came 
we looked harder 
together 
look at what we 
found!
now we are over 
we are stronger
even though we are apart…
