Verse 1
Am
The very day you were born
Your light shone bold in the dark
G
The doctor said you had
a hole in your heart
Dm
I just knew you were making room
for a whole lotta heart
I loved you from the day
until your soul will depart
Am
You took your first breath upon my chest
G
Dm
Built you a good nest before I left
It wasn't that I never loved your mother
But two happy homes are better
Am
than one that suffered
Verse 2
G
Every regret in this life that I made
Have been tempered by the strength
in your eyes everyday
Dm
I know you never said that
you'd like me to stay
Still I'm sorry I neglected
you while I was away
Am
You were eight when
we headed to casualty
G
And no child should face their
death or mortality
Dm
You taught me patience,
strength and morality
And I'd burden this weight
instead of you happily
Verse 3
Am
That night
You asked would you die
from your sickness
G
And why it hadn't chosen
your life out of millions
Dm
You filled me with the pride
I was missing
'Cause grown men cry that lack
your type of resilience
Am
Only when it's dark are the
stars so bright
G
For your fight,
you gon' harbour these scars for life
Dm
But you a brave little soul,
came in the cold
Like a fighter,
G
Am
hope you find the same flame when you're old
Verse 4
G
Fall asleep and lay with me
Dm
We'll search the night
Am
for shooting stars
G
If they can't take away your pain
Dm
I'll take your hand,
G
Am
walk through the dark
The dark
Through the dark
F
Verse 5
Am
I wrote this while you slept
in a hospital bed
G
Know this,
your breath at the cost of my breath
Dm
I'd forego this life,
let you honour my death
If you could know what it's
like to live long and regret
Am
So you could fight, you could shove,
you could bleed and hurt
G
You could die, you could love,
learn your creed or worth
Dm
Earn your stripes, act dumb,
cut your teeth or worse
Or take a wife to become your sky,
F
sea and earth
Verse 6
Am
But if these are things that you never see
G
With no god,
just me here to set you free
Dm
And most others won't understand
the hell in which you been in
'Til they're wrestling with a demon
Am
But take heart, to be brave,
we first need fear
G
The same heart that's seen pain, yet
Dm
persevered will serve you
I know this world is of course
unfair and hurt you
F
But these virtues are your's to bear
G
I
Verse 7
Am
named you lionheart
at the day you're born
G
They say the night is darkest
before the dawn
Dm
I'll take your hand upon this path
if you can light a spark then
We can find some calm in
Am
a raging storm
Ain't nothing left to scare you, see
G
So we can live life and cherish
every breath we breathe
Dm
And no matter where you go,
know I'll never leave
'Cause even when we're
gone we're living in a memory
G
Am
So live on
