Heart of Gold

You've got a heart of gold...
You're on your own two feet
on a path to school, barefoot
in a time where money wasn't around
you made the most of what was around
you made a life with whom you had found
You've got a heart of gold...
you cradled me as a child
and taught me what it means to love
in times when life got hard
you picked it up and carried on
you cradled us in your arms
you cradled me in your arms
You've got a heart of gold...
you'll always find her where there is fun
shes always helping out, on the run
and with no time to waste
shes always coming in at first place
and always with a smile on her face
You've got a heart of gold...

When I was young, I never thought
that I would go my separate way.
Now that I've aged, I have changed
and still the proud son you've raised.
The day that I stepped off your stage,
I knew you had something left to say.
You kept it inside and it comes out
from time to time, when you pray...
I want you to know I'm doing fine,
I never blew out the light you placed inside.
You've given me all i need to know
to help me face this world alone...
I reminisce that motherless day,
you took the bullet, you've embraced the pain.
Yet still alive, an Iron Man,
a working class ladies man,
a clergyman, a helping hand
despite the silent altercation that we have.
I want you to know that i fear death,
at least you know what lies ahead.
I hope one day I'll see you again;
that's if St Peter reads my name...
I want you to know I'm doing fine,
I never blew out the light you placed inside.
You've given me all i need to know
to help me face this world alone...
Life is a trail run in the dark,
sometimes we fall, and then we laugh.
One day we will all have our chance,
our time spent here is not too long.
If something could live after were gone,
let it be honest words to a song.
We all afloat on this a pale blue dot,
I've never met a man with a bigger heart.
You've touched so many hearts, you've reached into minds,
spread love, and impacted lives.
I hope this song makes you see
that i appreciate you taking on the challenge of raising me...

Never really realized
how fast life can pass by
holding on the moments long gone
Now that i have woken up
opened my eyes to love
found the truth in what you taught me
when times got hard you
were always there for me
Heart of gold...
You cradled me as a kid
to love and care for family
it's the songs you taught me to sing
you'll always find her where there's fun
she's always around to offer help
she is always happy
around her family
and there's no song that i could sing
that could outweigh your love for me.
Heart of gold...
(From the cradle to the grave
I'll always be my mothers son
As the world fades away
Nothing left but her eternal love.)
