Cartwheels

  • Oh mama we'd sail away
    Doing cartwheels on the front lawn everyday
    And you'd sing "Here Comes The Sun"
    Then we'd dance together
    I thought it would last forever

    I see my life fly on by
    Like a soldier in the rain
    With a shining road ahead of me
    For once in my life I want to be happy
    Stop running from my memories
    Being on the road sets me free... but sometimes

    I want to come back home
    I want to hear your voice say to me
    Be yourself, 'cause that's all that matters baby

    Oh mama you'd carry me away
    On the rooftops and in the high trees
    That's where I used to dream
    I'd close my eyes and hear you sing
    "Blackbird in the dead of night"

    I see your life fly on by
    Mama don't you be afraid
    Look at all the love that you have made
    Oh mama you want us to forgive you
    But you did nothing wrong
    You followed your road for so long...that sometimes

    You want to come back home
    You want it all to be the way it was
    Shaynamaidala, doing cartwheels on the lawn

    All the planes are out tonight
    I see them flying, lighting up the sky Publisher: Universal Music Publishing Group
