Intro: verse 1 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 another 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 back from beyond beyond beyond beyond oooh verse 2 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 back from beyond Bridge Happy now, are we? Happy now? are we? 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 back from beyond beyond beyond beyond oooh Outro:
