[Iconic Piano Intro] [Verse 1, (Soft and somber piano melody)] I feel the time is drawing near, A heavy heart, a lingering tear, I must leave, but you must stay, Carry on when I’m away. [Pre-Chorus, (Piano builds slightly, adding intensity)] Hold my hand, don’t let it slip, Feel my love with every grip, Though my body fades to night, In your soul, I’ll burn so bright. [Piano Interlude] [Chorus, (Piano becomes more powerful, emphasizing the lyrics)] And I told you to be brave, And I told you to be strong, And I told you to be everything you’ve wanted all along, And I told you to be kind, And I told you to be free, And I told you to be the best that you could ever be. [Verse 2, (Return to a softer piano, with a poignant tone)] When I am just a memory, Look within and you will see, All the love I gave to you, Lives in everything you do. [Pre-Chorus, (Piano builds slightly, adding intensity)] Hold my hand, don’t let it slip, Feel my love with every grip, Though my body fades to night, In your soul, I’ll burn so bright. [Piano Interlude] [Pre-Chorus, (Piano becomes more powerful, emphasizing the lyrics)] And I told you to be patient, And I told you to be true, And I told you to be everything that’s deep inside of you, And I told you to be hopeful, And I told you to be strong, And I told you to be the one who always carries on. [Bridge, (Piano softens, creating an intimate and emotional feel)] When the world feels heavy, And the nights grow long, Remember all the words we sang, In this simple song. [Piano Interlude] [Piano Interlude] [Chorus, (Piano swells, full of emotion and depth)] And I told you to be fearless, And I told you to be wise, And I told you to be the one to see the world through open eyes, And I told you to be loving, And I told you to be fair, And I told you to be the light that shows how much you care. [Outro, (Piano gently fades, bringing a sense of closure and acceptance)] Hold on tight, don’t lose your way, In the end, we'll find our day, With a heart that’s full of dreams, We’ll create a life that beams.
