I found myself acting like you do today Repeating words that you would say I wonder if you meant to be so easy to read Only making sense in your own way Do you know how fearless you are? How we've grown to appreciate the scars? So much of you has taken us this far Your influence has left a lasting mark Though it took some time to realise It's no surprise you're part of who we are I caught myself thinking aloud like you do Thoughts that never meant to turn to words I'd like to think that I could be as selfless as you are Always putting other people first Do you know how fearless you are? How we've grown to appreciate the scars? So much of you has taken us this far Your influence has left a lasting mark Though it took some time to realise It's no surprise you're part of who we are I never want to reach the day When I'm not learning from your every way Your words will always stay We know it isn't easy to be on your own But you've inspired us and made a happy home Do you know how fearless you are? How we've grown to appreciate the scars? So much of you has taken us this far Your influence has left a lasting mark Though it took some time to realise It comes as no surprise You're who we are
