    On my shoulders I will carry you
    As long as I am able to

    But walk, whenever you should
    It will give you strength and do you good

    And run! When that’s what your spirit feels
    Heart racing, lungs bursting, up the steepest of hills

    I will be around if you trip and falter
    Around always until I am no longer

    Bullies are bullies
    There are always some around
    Because like fleas
    Their numbers abound 

    But never mind them 
    You don’t know their story
    They didn’t grow up like you or me

    You are you 
    And you are strong
    You don’t need to play along
