All These Things I Wish You Could See

[Verse 1] That fateful day that took you away from me I rose from the wreckage, crowned by tragedy We tried to hold on, but the cold was too strong And the silence has followed me all along I carried your ring and our unborn plans Through broken steel and blood on my hands Two sons to raise, a kingdom to lead And a wound on my chest that still makes me bleed [Pre-Chorus] Through the years, through the weight of the crown I’ve built our world, I won’t let it fall down All these things I wish you could see [Chorus] Since you've been gone I’ve kept the walls strong, kept the people warm I’ve walked this road alone But your shadow walks with me, through every dawn Since you've been gone [Verse 2] Every law I sign, every stone I lay I still hear your voice guide me on my way In the eyes of our sons, I see your fire They carry your spirit, your dreams, your desire I guard what we built, I protect what remains Through gentle hands and steady reins I’ve learned to be steel, I’ve learned to be kind But the scar still burns when you cross my mind [Pre-Chorus] Through the years, through the weight of the crown I’ve built our world, I won’t let it fall down All these things I wish you could see [Chorus] Since you've been gone I’ve kept the walls strong, kept the people warm I’ve walked this road alone But your shadow walks with me, through every dawn Since you've been gone [Bridge] Our boys stand tall now, they’re ready to lead They’ve grown in your light, though you’re gone indeed I tell them your stories, I swear they will last And I try to smile, though the years move fast [Final Chorus] It made me King, but it cost too much No throne can replace your gentle touch I lead our sons through the calm and storm But part of me still calls your name Since you've been gone… (Since you've been gone) [Outro] All these things… I wish you could see (I wish you could see)
