Marching On lyrics

Grandma told me I look just like you

Flawless, strong and fragile like a dove

I wondered will I grow to be as tall as you were to me

You were perfect, bathed me in your love

I was young, now I know sometimes you cried alone

I've learnt the world isn't black and white

When you made me look away

I know you never meant to hurt me

You kept marching on

A faded picture of you at my age

A candid smile I hardly recognise

When you close your eyes at night

Do you dream of your past life

I never know what's going through your mind

I was young, now I know sometimes you took the plunge

Those nights you prayed, you were terrified

You'd say go figure it out

Darling, no one knows the answers

You keep marching on

You keep marching on

Sometimes I wonder if I was born as your reincarnation

But I could never be like you

I'm a child without patience

Did you mean that

Did you mean that

When you told me

That I'm your dream

You keep marching on...
