Lyrics
VERSE #1
My whole life it's like I've seen a guiding light
Only problem is I've always tried to hide
No shine on me, I'm not good enough
Living my life being pushed and shoved
Dad's always said to put your chin up
Seems like he's always had to of been tough
I see reflection of myself in him
Which scares me, cause sometimes there ain't no helping him
Which means there ain't no way to help me
And he needs help, I pray he'll tell me
It ain't like he's a prick
But people treat him like a piece of sh*t
Sometimes I just need to flip - but can't
Cause that ain't what you expect from Grant
Oh he's so cool, he's laid back
When inside I just wanna break man
(CHORUS)
Don't you know that I'll be around to guide you
Through your weakest moments to leave them behind you
Returning nightmares only shadows
We'll cast some light and you'll be alright
We'll cast some light and you'll be alright for now
VERSE #2
I gotta say dad, I'm proud to be your son
Cause when I'm down in the dumps, I think of what you've done
I dunno what I'd do without you and Mum
(Probably wouldn't be here... )
I'd probably of already grabbed a gun
Or had a knife and stabbed someone
Just to vent the rage, instead I stay
With this pen and page
And act like someone gives a f*ck about what I say
If I'ma give up, don't worry, it's not today
But when it is, I'ma make sure
There weren't nuffin else to do other than hit the floor
Cause that's what you taught me, told me your stories
Said I was stronger than that when I was poorly
The only person that DON'T ignore me
And for that I wanna say...
(CHORUS)
Don't you know that I'll be around to guide you
Through your weakest moments to leave them behind you
Returning nightmares only shadows
We'll cast some light and you'll be alright for now
VERSE #3
You left 8, but I don't blame you
Whenever I needed you there you came through
And I thank you for my last name too
Cause when people hear it, they think of you
I am who I am because of you
So there ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
You taught me to stand and damn
I don't know a better family man
Every other kid had a dad and a mum though
They were in Nikes and I was in Umbro
Other wise hi-techs
Other kids always had the sh*t we couldn't buy yet
But I'm thankful, 'cause without them on my ankles
I wouldn't appreciate anything at all
So I gotta say thank you!
(CHORUS)
Don't you know that I'll be around to guide you
Through your weakest moments to leave them behind you
Returning nightmares only shadows
We'll cast some light and you'll be alright for now
Cast some light and you'll be alright for now
