Standard (EADGBE)

When I was a young child

You watched over me

You kept me safe inside your arms

And then you set me free

So I flew away like a bird

Not knowing which way to go

The light you give me inside

It will always glow

And I want to remember

All the times we shared

And I won't ever forget your face

You know your hands were always there

And still you're strong when I'm weak

It never seems to fade

I can hear your voice here with me

Whenever I'm awake

And I know you'll be there 'til the end

Until the end of time

Because you sacrificed it all

Just to give me life

And I want to remember

All the times we shared

And I won't ever forget your face

You know your hands were always there

You made me the man I am

The man I am today

And for that I owe you everything

It's been so long, I can't go on

Without you by my side

When I was a young child

You watched over me

You kept me safe inside your arms

And then you set me free

And I want to remember

All the times we shared

And I won't ever forget your face

You know your hands were always there
