Wave goodbye to your mother
You're no longer a child of the world
No longer a boy or a girl
The past is safely behind you
Memory fades and
Time brings change to everyone
It's time to rule with the sun
In casting a new shadow
Did you see the way that I was?
Did you see the way that I was?
Did you see the way that I was when I was down?
All I need is a helping hand
Someone safe to guide my landing
Back from beyond
Everybody has their time in the firing line
And this time it's mine to take a couple of rounds
It's okay to feel down
Those who laugh become the joke
As their bellies start to bloat
Into great big balloons
While I'm singing tunes, tunes about you
Did you see the way that I was?
Did you see the way that I was?
Did you see the way that I was when I was down?
All I need is a helping hand
Someone safe to guide my landing
Back from beyond
Happy now, are we? Happy now?
Happy now, are we? In our hearts
Did you see the way that I was?
Did you see the way that I was?
Did you see the way that I was when I was down?
All I need is a helping hand
Someone safe to guide my landing
Back from beyond
