We’re all too scared to get older 
like it’s not part of how we’re designed 
Wishing it all would move slower 
when we’re lost and can’t make up our minds
When I’m in the dark 
and falling pretty far
No you won’t let me turn off the light  
I was so scared to get older 
but you say I’ll be fine
helps me sleep through the night 
Chorus:
Ooooo all you taught me
I know you got me (x2)
Ooooo I’m truly grateful
to carry your flame on (x2)
Verse 2:
You told me when I grew taller
I’d look back to find how much I’d grown
In every way that it mattered
You showed me how to see right from wrong
Working such long days 
to keep us warm and safe
Always sad to go when you couldn’t stay 
I now find you by the water
where you’re spending your days
always watching the waves 
Chorus:
Ooooo all you taught me
I know you got me (x2)
Ooooo I’m truly grateful
to carry your flame on (x2)
BRIDGE:
I’ve been thinking about our old song 
When Billy sang that someday we’ll be gone
There’ll be a day when it’s my turn  
I’ll teach my own that it never ends 
We’re on and on 
Chorus:
Ooooo all you taught me
I know you got me (x2)
Ooooo I’m truly grateful
to carry your flame on (x2)

Carry Your Flame by Sara Elliot (Special unreleased track for my dad's birthday)

Sara recorded this with Naz for my 50th Birthday.  She is going to kill me for doing this because the lyrics are personal to us but had to do it....oh well....I'm getting ready to be yelled at.  What else is new?
