Picture this

Picture this You are a parent You have to find the courage within yourself No   half-minded decision in this new age You go get what you want Because you are a parent And a child is waiting for you at home You comfort them when they're in pain And you tell them that everything will be okay You do everything it takes To make your wildest dreams shine in silver grey And the rest of your love in rose golden syrup Your dreams shine so bright they throw up When you start to doubt you will ever make it out alive in this life Now picture this You are a parent And the child lives within yourself Its small heartbeat whimpering in pain Whenever you torture it with blasphemous "I am only an innocent child" it tells you Nurture it and let it know you are here for them That the thunderstorm will end And you have prepared a trail of petal roses That leads to a fountain of truth Of peace that sings a song of bliss Oh if only you could picture this
