When I was younger
I told my mother
I say one day I'm gonna make you proud

Now that I'm older
Its so much harder
To say those words out loud

Your growing taller
A little smarter
And one day your gonna leave home
Oh will you look like your mothers father
Oh when you are fully grown

Ooh ooh ohh oh oh oho ho

When I was younger I asked my father
Why are we so human
Now that I'm older
I think I figured it out
Were just doing what we can

Oh oooh oh oh

Cause I wont
I wont lay you down
I wont lay you
I wont lay you down oh now
I wont I wont lay down
I wont lay you I wont lay you I wont, I wont lay you down

When I was younger I told my mother
I say one day I'm gonna make you proud
