I climbed off your back Not so long ago To a blooming meadow To a path you'd made for the lightest feet Mother, I am always close to you I will be waving every time you leave Oh, I am you The care, the love, the memories We are the story of one Father, I am always close to you I will be waving every time you leave Oh, I am you The care, the love, the memories You are forever in me This verse we wrote On a road home For you All this for you All this for you Our walk has been sublime A soaring ride and gentle lead You have the heart of a true friend One day we'll meet on that shore again Mother, I am always close to you I will be waving every time you leave Oh, I am you The care, the love, the memories We are the story of one Father, I am always close to you I will be waving every time you leave Oh, I am you The care, the love, the memories You are forever in me
