Everything good inside me is yours
Only a few ounces yet the weight you carry would buckle my shoulders
Maybe you'll understand when you're older how
a child lights up the room brings heat to the colder
hearts of men who are traded and stolen thrown away and bent broken
But you with your innocence and eyes diamond bright
You are my future my gleaming light
A lamp that I've lit, the flame is my name
given by the ancients it's now yours to claim
There will be many differences but one thing is the same,
the blood in your veins is an unbroken chain
A link to the past and we're all that remains
Stay strong if I leave
deep roots don't flood when the world starts to rain
