Verse 1
The very day you were (A minor) born
Your light shone bold in the dark
(G major) The doctor said you had
a hole in your heart
I just knew (D minor) you were making room
for a whole lotta heart
I loved you from the day
until your soul will depart
(A minor) You took your first breath upon my chest
(G major) Built you a good nest before I left (D minor)
It wasn't that I never loved your mother
But two happy homes are better
than one that suffered (A minor)

Verse 2
Every regret in this life that I made (G major)
Have been tempered by the strength
in your eyes everyday
(D minor) I know you never said that
you'd like me to stay
Still I'm sorry I neglected
you while I was away
(A minor) You were eight when
we headed to casualty
And (G major) no child should face their
death or mortality
(D minor) You taught me patience,
strength and morality
And I'd burden this weight
instead of you happily
Verse 3
That (A minor) night
You asked would you die
from your sickness
And (G major) why it hadn't chosen
your life out of millions
(D minor) You filled me with the pride
I was missing
'Cause grown men cry that lack
your type of resilience
(A minor) Only when it's dark are the
stars so bright
For your (G major) fight,
you gon' harbour these scars for life
But you a (D minor) brave little soul,
came in the cold
Like a fighter,
hope you find the same flame (G major) when you're old (A minor)
Verse 4
Fall asleep (G major) and lay with me
(D minor) We'll search the night
for shooting stars (A minor)
If they can't take (G major) away your pain
(D minor) I'll take your hand,
walk through (G major) the dark (A minor)
The dark
Through the dark
(F major)
Verse 5
I wrote (A minor) this while you slept
in a hospital bed
Know (G major) this,
your breath at the cost of my breath
I'd fore (D minor) go this life,
let you honour my death
If you could know what it's
like to live long and regret
So you could (A minor) fight, you could shove,
you could bleed and hurt
You could (G major) die, you could love,
learn your creed or worth
Earn your (D minor) stripes, act dumb,
cut your teeth or worse
Or take a wife to become your sky,
(F major) sea and earth
Verse 6
But if (A minor) these are things that you never see
With no (G major) god,
just me here to set you free
And most (D minor) others won't understand
the hell in which you been in
'Til they're wrestling with a demon
But take (A minor) heart, to be brave,
we first need fear
The same (G major) heart that's seen pain, yet
persevered will serve (D minor) you
I know this world is of course
unfair and hurt you
But these virtues are (F major) your's to bear
(G major) I
Verse 7
(A minor) named you lionheart
at the day you're born
(G major) They say the night is darkest
before the dawn
(D minor) I'll take your hand upon this path
if you can light a spark then
We can find some calm in
a raging storm (A minor)
Ain't nothing left to scare you, see
So we can (G major) live life and cherish
every breath we breathe
And no (D minor) matter where you go,
know I'll never leave
'Cause even when we're
gone we're living in a memory
(G major) So live (A minor) on
Verse 8
Fall asleep (G major) and lay with me
(D minor) We'll search the night for
shoot (C major) ing stars (A minor)
If they can't take (G major) away your pain
(D minor) I'll take your hand,
walk through (G major) the dark (A minor)
Verse 9
Fall asleep and (G major) lay with me
(D minor) We'll search the night for
shoot (C major) ing (G major) stars (A minor)
If they can't take (G major) away your pain
(D minor) I'll take your hand,
walk through (G major) the dark (A minor)
The dark (C major)

Verse 10
(A minor) sorry that I can't take
your pain or answer why
We'll (D minor) lay awake through darker skys
I (F major) say your name, you (A minor) cast a light
You're a flame on a starless night
And I didn't know I was lost
'till you (D minor) found me
Didn't know I was locked
here without key (F major) s
But we can walk (A minor) across
all these boundaries
You and me, nothing here to
stop you, you're now free
So I wrote this to give you hope (D minor) For every
Verse 11
good thing in life
you live to know
They say (F major) cancer survivors
are (G major) gifted (E major) though
Let (A minor) me know if that isn't so
