This is why...

The holding hands with the smallest of fingers
The shouting of the sweetest voices 
The exploration of what will come next
Say what needs to be said
Do what needs to be done 
After this, is why I'm scared 

All the busy ups and downs 
All the school runs and end of term discos 
The twinkle in their eyes of anything is possible
Mam and dad are here, for yous should know 

The silence of an empty home 
The fear of living alone
Have I found joy in my life? 
I truly have
If this was to go away my house would not be a home 
For this is why I'm scared
For this is why I'm scared 

When I sleep, I sleep with yous in my thoughts
When I'm awake I feel yous in my heart
I know mam has all the love in the world and aches if any of your tears shall fall

If any of this goes, this is why I'm scared
This is why I'm scared
This is why....
