[STARTING TO NOTICE]

mother
thank you for holding me
when they cut me open
I could hear but couldn't see

father
thank you for showing me
that this world is much deeper
than a boy could ever dream
yeah the river is deep

sister
thank you for standing next to me
just children thrown
into adult reality


I'm starting to notice
I look a lot like you
I hear your voice
in the words that I choose
I like to think 
that tomorrow might bring
a rising sun
that shines on you and me


mother
thank you for putting up with me
when I locked up in myself
and tossed aside the key

father
thank you for asking me
if my happiness
was everything it could be
yeah you saved me

sister
thank you for paving the road
to places far and wide
in search of the unknown


I'm starting to notice
I took a lot from you
only tangible things
are the ones that we lose
I hate to think
that tomorrow might bring
a rising sun
that has taken you from me


mother
thank you for loving me
'cause now my lover
sleeps easy

father
thanks for working me
now life is just a tool
to get me to my dreams
you pushed me

sister
thank you for sending me
little reminders
of life's simplicity


I'm starting to notice
I'm what life has put me through
The best sides of me
are reflections of you
I love knowing
that tomorrow will bring
a rising sun
that shines on you and me
no matter where we are
