Dear Hazel

Dear Hazel,

First of all, I need to start with an apology

And I know I wasn’t the easiest teen to raise, and I mean it, honestly

And it’s not like I’ve grown to be a lawyer or an engineer

But you say you’re still proud, and that makes me grin like a moron from ear to ear

I would not be half the man I am today without your years of guidance

And if you wanted me to drop the mic for good, I would do in seconds and live in silence

But I know you would never advise that you have influenced me to be the best human that I can be

Even musically, I used to take your Bowie CDs when I was 13, and Pink Floyd too

I could hear familiar songs at the end of our road on the way home from school

It was then I knew you used to borrow my music too, and my friends thought that was rad

And then you showed Sleepy Skeletor to anyone who would give it the time

The neighbours must of thought you was mad, the amount of times I hear you blast it from the kitchen

From your CD system, and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on this one

Dear Hazel,

You’ve been there while I’ve been in the darkest of places

And I know you’ve had your own number of demons to face with

And I just want you to know that I’m here, and I’m proud of you too

For everything you’ve helped me through, this is an ode to you

To you I dedicate everything, and anything that I achieve

You keep telling me I can do anything as long as I believe in what I do

For everything you help me through, this is an ode to you

No matter what the weather you always seem to bring the sunshine along

You deliver warmth and smiles when I feel that all hope is gone

Through Thick and thin, through old and new

For everything you help me through, this is an ode to you

This is an ode to you

Dear Hazel,

It doesn’t matter you get mind and Kyle’s names mixed up

I know he would be in the club that agrees with everything I have put in this tune

You know it’s true, fuck we’re all proud of you

For everything you help us through, this is an ode to you

This is an ode to you

Dear Hazel
