to open up our hearts
show the feelings that we hid

feeling nervous and excited, all at the same time.
i thought about the future, with this child I'd call mine.
so many questions, bout who you would become
would you look like me? or look more like your Mom.
suddenly I knew, that life had changed fast
the mistakes and regrets, I had from my past
wasn't sure i even knew, if I could be a dad.
but looking at you now, its a doubt i needn't of had.
cos your my boy,
and I'm proud as hell.
the man that you've become,
Boy you've turned out well.
everything i could have hoped for,
yea I'm proud as Hell
As you grew up, you amazed me every day.
a heart of gold, that you showed in every way.
The telling offs, were few and far between.
unlike alot, of the other kids I'd seen
now your a man, with a child of your own.
i know for sure, through everything you've shown.
you will be the dad, that i have always hoped
and the world we see, what i have always known.
cos your my boy,
and I'm proud as hell.
the man that you've become,
Boy you've turned out well.
everything i could have hoped for,
yea I'm proud as Hell
they say parents are supposed, to shape their kids lives.
but son I have to say, that you have actually shaped mine.
cos your my boy,
and I'm proud as hell.
the man that you've become,
Boy you've turned out well.
everything i could have hoped,
yea I'm proud as Hell
yea im proud as hell
so proud, so proud

I got that phone call from you, couple days ago.
its always good to hear your voice, but little did I know.
you dropped that c-bomb on me, and it rocked me to my soul.
I just remember thinking, thats my mom. hell no no!
i know that your a fighter, I know that you wont go.
truth is that you have no choice, cos this is what I know.
I'm not ready to.
not ready to let you go.
I'm not ready to,
not ready to say goodbye.
mom, you cant go, you cant leave, you cant leave us all behind
mom keep fighting on,
cos I'm not ready to.
from day one and all my life, you've been the rock that I need.
through it all you picked me up, when I've been down on my knees.
I know you say you'll be ok, and Damn you better be.
cos if your not here anymore, then thats no life for me.
so please be that fighter, mom please just don't let go.
truth is you have no choice, cos this is what I know
I'm not ready to.
not ready to let you go.
I'm not ready to,
not ready to say goodbye.

and I hoping, praying, that god don't need you yet.

waking up again this morning, I turn on the news.
its full of different stories, and a million different views.
wars are all to common, all over the world.
And politics gone crazy, and what is a boy or girl.
there is no escaping, the craziness out there.
problems forced upon us, by a world that just aint fair.
oh but we must try, just try to get on.
get on with each other, get on with our lives.
we cant bend, we cant fold.
we cant give up on our pride.
this world is here for all of us
we are all on the same side.
diseases spread to easy, no matter what we do.
Doctors risking their own lives, saving me and you.
they don't care bout our colour, or where we come from.
but the prejudice thats all around, just keeps going strong.
the hatred that I see each day, I cant get through my head,
cos at our core we are all the same, we all have blood thats red.
oh but we must try, just try to get on.
get on with each other, get on with our lives.
we cant bend, we cant fold.
we cant give up on our pride.
this world is here for all of us
we are all on the same side.
we all only get one life, don't live it wasting time.
its way to short anyway, so come on live it right
oh so we must try, just try to get on.
get on with each other, get on with our lives.
we cant bend, we cant fold.
we cant give up on our pride.
this world is here for all of us
we are all on the same side.
yeah this world is here for all of us,
we are all on the same side
we are all, on the, same side

Take My Name
[verse 1]
At times I find myself, having moments to myself.
thinking about my life, thinking about my wealth.
I don't have much money, not much to my name.
and I know im not alone that, many others are the same.
[hook]
but as I think a little more, bout what I actually have.
I realise, and tell myself, I must be going mad.
[Chorus]
Because I have you, and your everything I need.
and I feel rich, by the way that you love me.
I hope you know, that I love you just same.
and I cant wait, till the day you take my name.
till you take my name.
[verse 2]
I don't need the money, or those material things.
no fancy clothes no flash cars, or those big golden rings.
just a home to live in, and food for us to eat.
nothing else could ever top, you being with me.
[hook]
and when i think about, how different it could be.
without you here right by my side, I find it hard to breath.
[chorus]
Because I have you, and your everything I need.
and I feel rich, by the way that you love me.
I hope you know, that I love you just same.
and I cant wait, till the day you take my name.
till you take my name.
take my name.
[bridge]
Girl i hope you realise, the love I have for you.
no matter what the world throws up, always know its true.
[chorus]
Because I have you, and your everything I need.
and I feel rich, by the way that you love me.
I hope you know, that I love you just same.
and I cant wait, till the day you take my name.
till you take my name.
you take my name
Because I have you, and your everything I need.
and I feel rich, by the way that you love me.
I hope you know, that I love you just same.
and I cant wait, till the day you take my name.
till you take my name.
no i cant wait. till the day you take my name.
oh, oh, oh
you take my name

I am a songwriter from the UK. I specialise in writing lyrics for Country, pop and rock songs. Started doing this as a bit of fun. Writing lyrics and then using AI apps to turn them into songs. After recieving alot of compliments about my work I decided to start taking it seriously. I write from the heart basing my lyrics on real world feelings and emotions.
