[00:03.35]You had a life
[00:06.25]Before you even thought of mine
[00:11.21]Who were you then
[00:13.04]Did you have lots of friends
[00:14.89]And what car did you drive
[00:19.42]When you met dad
[00:22.24]Did you think of the life you might have
[00:26.68]On your wedding day
[00:28.97]Did you plan out the names
[00:30.8]Of the kids that you'd have
[00:35.66]From the very first moment I looked in your eyes
[00:40.06]You taught me about love as you stared into mine
[00:43.98]You're holding the hands of the new little life that you made
[00:52.13]You brought me back home and I started to cry
[00:56.01]You held me in close and sung sweet lullaby's
[00:59.97]When I started running I knew I was running to you
[01:08.17]The start of the story of everything I'll ever be
[01:15.03]My mumma and me
[01:19.37]Time passing by
[01:22.29]17 - blink of an eye
[01:27.19]We're fighting again
[01:28.99]I'm smoking with friends
[01:30.92]In the car parked outside
[01:35.35]Remember the day
[01:38.29]The cops drove me back to your place
[01:42.75]And said is this your son
[01:45.1]Do you know what he's done
[01:46.91]Thank God for your grace
[01:51.520004]But I shook off your hand when you tried to hold it
[01:56.009995]Said mum-I'm a man can't you leave me alone and
[02:00.14]When I look back I still see the pain on your face
[02:08.22]All my mistakes it can't have been easy
[02:12.01]To hold all the space for hurting and healing
[02:16.28]So many reasons for you not to love me the same
[02:24.11]How lucky am I that nothing could come in between
[02:31.12]My mumma and me
[02:34.86]Oh my mumma and me
[02:39.11]My mumma and me
[02:43.05]My mumma and me
[02:48.24]Now that I'm grown well into my story
[02:52.11]I finally know how much you did for me
[02:56.11]I may be a man but
[02:58.39]I'm still a boy in your arms
[03:04.34]When you start to stumble your mind starts to go
[03:08.15]I'll tell you the stories that you always told
[03:12.15]You'll know I love you as
[03:14.24]I hold your hand in the dark
[03:20.32]I'll sing you to sleep the
[03:22.3]One who gave me air to breathe
[03:27.1]My mumma and me
