Snow Patrol - Lifening Lyrics: A hand upon my forehead The joke and then the laugh Waking up in your arms A place to call my own This is all I ever wanted from life Ireland in the world cup Either north or south The fanclub on the jukebox The birds and yes the bees This is all I ever wanted from life Words of reassurance But only if they're true Just some simple kindness No vengeance from the gods This is all I ever wanted from life To share what I've been given Some kids eventually And be for them what I've had A father like my dad
