We did it, kid — we made it through
It’s never over but you got me, I got you

You can make her laugh, I’ll show you how
I can’t do it anymore but you can now

The curtains fall, take a bow; it’s yours
I’m clapping in the wings, I don’t need the applause

We did it, kid — against all the odds
You don’t even know it but you helped me move on

Look at me, look at you, look at us making it through
Won’t need to say it out loud now you can read too

Life keeps on going, change don’t subside
But we’ll hold onto each other til the planets collide

We did it, kid — with all our might
Just maybe everything’s gonna be alright

There’s tears in my eyes, can’t believe that you’re five
The road’s been so long and here I am still alive

It keeps pouring out while damp climbs the wall
But I’ll keep hanging on til the meteorites fall

We did it, kid — love matters most
You’ll always be a Stannard, born here on the south coast

A-two three, M-two five, M-two and back,
Weekend after weekend, losing track

But when my body slumps and exhaustion nears
I see your little face and it all disappears
