Here for You

The seasons turned, I saw you grow

A leaf unfurled, a flower bloom'd;

I've loved you every single day.

I have tried to hold the tide,

And keep you from the painful side,

But it’ll come and find you anyway,

Warm and wise but still naive,

The world is wide, with much to see;

Just don't want you to make all my mistakes

Let your eyes be alive, open wide;

Look for the light in the dark.

Keep your dreams open wide,

Like your heart.

If you find one to love, don’t rush,

make sure they love you like I do;

And when hard times come to you,

We’ll be here for you

Life had dealt a broken heart,

The cards were stacked before the start,

And then she found someone to love;

But you can give your heart away

To gaslight and power play;

The flower wilts and then gets crushed;

And he didn’t fit the bully game,

He was warped to fit that frame

Years of trampled feelings make you tough

Don’t let it get you or fret you

When fools try to crowd you or put you down

Learn from the barbs,

Keep a guard on your heart

Don’t let them step on who you are

Yeah I know it, hope I show it, that the darkest night is brighter by the morning light

As long as I'm still alive, I'll be cheering you on
