I keep my hopes and dreams inside of you
Amongst the other things my mother seems to never see
The bruises that I´m covering,
Never been known by my government name,
My foster home is where I´ve been placed
Away from the pain,
So as you sit before me with a folder holding my story,
You´re my savior with nothing on me but power and glory,
And surely you´ll never ignore cos
When the the court came
the court date was made to disappear for me,
You think you understand me
But never what I went through
But you were never meant to
I won´t hold it against you,
I take a ballpoint pen to play dot to dot
With the cigarette burns etched in my forearms,
Forget me not never let me stop
You´ll just sit and watch it´s your job
To be patient so you´ll let me off,
So come with me take a walk on the wild side,
See life in a day through a child´s eyes,
And these dreams are all I have, to hold me,
When sleeps the only thing that I want
To take me away, away,
Okay sessions over time to get back to the classroom
I hate this lesson and I guess the teacher finds it hard to,
You told me I should try my best
But guess what I still find this trigonometry a head fuck,
Constantly told I won´t pass my GCSE´s,
I´ll end up in Mac D´s serving burgers and cheese,
But you told me I can do anything if I put my mind to it,
Mistakes make a change
If you put a line through ´em,
Lately classmates think I´m crazy
Turn up daily resembling Bill Bailey,
And I ain´t saying that I can´t be groomed with it
Without new clothes or shower it hard to do,
So after school you´ll take me shopping for some new clothes
But they´ll get taken off me when I get back to the group home,
So come with me take a walk on the wild side
See life in a day through a child´s eyes,
And these dreams are all I have, to hold me,
When sleeps the only thing that I want to take me away, away.
