The thing about your people

That was the thing about your people

You could say anything

Be anyone

Do everything

And they would be here

Cos you were oh so dear

No matter how far you wandered

They were always near

Sharing all your sorrows 

Even the fears

That was the thing about your people

Unconditional love was their normal

Never did you have to be formal

The hours you spent with them

Felt like minutes

You didn’t even know how or when

But you were in it

That was the thing about your people

They were your greatest adventure

And safe haven all at once

All of their words pure

If you didn’t see them for months

They stayed with you in your hearts home

So you were never alone

That was the thing about your people

They always made you dig deeper

Forever your secret keepers

Any occasion to steer up some fun

In all that darkness

Brought you the whole sun

Cos you are their star

Their whole life 

Always in your heart

No matter how far

That was the thing about your people

These beings rare

Always building you up

Kept you in their prayers

Crossing oceans for you

Giving up their sleep

Climbed every mountain

No matter how steep
