I keep my hopes and dreams inside of you amongst the other things
my mother seems to never see the bruises that I'm
covering,
Never been known by my government name, my foster home is where
I've been placed away from the pain,
so as you sit before me with a folder holding my story,
you're my saviour with nothing on me but power and
glory,
And surely you'll never ignore cos when the the court came
the court date was made to disappear for me,
You think you understand me but never what I went through but you
were never meant to I won't hold it against
you,
I take a ballpoint pen to play dot to dot with the cigarette
burns etched in my forearms,
Forget me not never let me stop you'll just sit and watch
it's your job to be patient so you'll let me
off,
So come with me take a walk on the wild side, see life in a day
through a child's eyes,
And these dreams are all I have, to hold me,
When sleeps the only thing that I want to take me away,
away,
Okay sessions over time to get back to the classroom I hate this
lesson and I guess the teacher finds it hard to,
You told me I should try my best but guess what I still find this
trigonometry a head f.ck,
Constantly told I won't pass my GCSE's,
I'll end up in Mac D's serving burgers and
cheese,
But you told me I can do anything if I put my mind to
it,
Mistakes make a change if you put a line through
'em,
Lately classmates think I'm crazy turn up daily resembling
bill bailey,
And I ain't saying that I can't be groomed with it
without new clothes or shower it hard to do,
So after school you'll take me shopping for some new clothes
but they'll get taken off me when I get back to the group
home,
So come with me take a walk on the wild side see life in a day
through a childs eyes,
And these dreams are all I have, to hold me,
When sleeps the only thing that I want to take me away, away.
can we please talk about how perfect Ed is?
