I wanted to run and have fun
Fill my eyes up and laugh, Mum
And sometimes to cry.
I wanted to live, Mum
I didn’t want to die.
But, most of all Mother
I wanted to see your face
To hold your hands
And feel your embrace
To hear your sweet laughter
When I win a race;
Look into my eyes Mum
I wanted to see your face
I wanted to hear a birdsong
I wanted to dance and sing along
Fill my ears up and laugh, Mum
And sometimes to cry
I wanted to live mum
I didn’t want to die.
But most of all Mother,
I wanted to see your face.
To hold your ands
And be our little ace.
To hear your sweet laughter
When I win a race;
