And so it was that you were born

Into this world one winter morning,

With a childish innocence you smiled at me
|
And I was born again.

The strength of a home and a moat round the castle.

Pull up the drawbridge,

Staying at home with the family.

Sometimes they find that it isn't so easy.

Life can be hard on a family.
