To 7 year old me
I closed my eyes and drifted time
Forever young playing in the back of mind
All I saw was 7 year old me
Sat at the table, all alone
"She left us Gog, gone away, there will not be another day"
Looking around i come to see
This is my home but this is not me
Why did she leave, didn't she see
She promised it would always be her and me
Crying now is all I hear
Oh I wish someone would hold me dear
But hearts are broken, lives on hold
"She's gone now Gog with no goodbye
It just really wasn't her time"
I open my eyes back in present day
The memories of yesteryear not gone away
I have to go and save that girl
I have to hope I can bring her home
There was no more laughter after that day
All that followed was more pain
What used to be a safe place to be
Was never again home to me
So let me say if I can,
me and that girl stand hand by hand
I need to take her out that place and tell her we did make our break
Through all the years of pain and torture
We also smiled and cried with laughter
Not everything went our way
But hey she needs to know that's OK
We got married and moved away
The one we trusted the most however
didn't want to love us forever
But life is cruel we know that, let's not ask for anything back.
I have to get her out that house
To save the girl who made me, me
Let's leave that place and go away
Life begins when we're free
She maybe 7 but she's also 38,
Me and her are now safe.
I know Mama left us one December day
And Life was never ever the same
But through all the things our eyes have seen, please don't ever lose our dreams
You are safe now and back home
No longer stuck in that dark room
Close your eyes or look above
The world is big but can be tough
You are safe away from pain
Our life really did turn out great
She maybe 7 but she's also 38
Me and her are now safe
