I see the tears fall softly down upon your face
And my own heart begins to break.
I want to protect you and keep you safe.
From life's pain and heartache.
But in order to laugh you have to cry.
In order to live you have to die.
The happiness and laughter children know
Does not last as they grow.
The happiness you have today
Is gone tomorrow
it is not yours to keep
but only to borrow.
I can not protect you from the pain
As the seasons of your life take change.
But I can lend a hand, a shoulder
And be your friend.
Nourish your soul
until your heart mends

or everything you need
but I'll always try to give you
everything you dream
I'll hold your hand so

I should have seen it coming
You were like all the rest
Warm words could hide
The cold heart in your chest
The walls I
The Lord's protection
"Lord you've kept me, through another night...
Stay with me through the day, You I do invite.
