Relative Ash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'cus his heart just grew too big and his pride his pride
never cries
be mighty if he falls go pick him up
keep giving him legs a healthy heart that you wake up with
be mighty 'cus his heart just grew too big
I'm cursing his pride that his (my) body can't live with
upon disease it gets so cold when the sick leave
the good-hearted stay warm, for the family view
wake up this call is for you
I just look away I knew I couldn't save
if he falls go pick him up
go pick him up
I'm cursing his pride that his (my) body can't live with
I couldn't walk I couldn't crawl
I felt death before I talked
Mom's beauty stay for this lovely June day
I was only 1 and 9
I sat on a stool and said nothing but now it's five years
you been away I knew I could have saved
be mighty if he falls go pick him up
keep giving him legs a healthy heart that you wake up with
be mighty 'cus his heart just grew too big
I'm cursing his pride that his (my) body can't live with
be mighty if he falls go pick him up
be mighty if he falls
I will save
I will save
I will bring you home
