Marching On

Grandma told me I look just like you Flawless strong and fragile like a dove I wondered will I grow to be as tall as you were to me You were perfect bathed me in your love I was young now I know sometimes you cried alone I've learnt the world isn't black and white When you made me look away I know you never meant to hurt me You kept marching on A faded picture of you at my age A candid smile I hardly recognise When you close your eyes at night Do you dream of your past life I never know what's going through your mind I was young now I know sometimes you took the plunge Those nights you prayed you were terrified You'd say go figure it out Darling no one knows the answers You keep marching on You keep marching on Sometimes I wonder if I was born as your reincarnation But I could never be like you I'm a child without patience Did you mean that Did you mean that When you told me That I'm your dream You keep marching on You keep marching on You keep marching on You keep marching on You keep marching on You keep marching on
