For my Child

*(Verse 1)* I watch you sleeping, your heart beats so slow, I’ve given everything, though it’s hard to show. The nights are so long, the days are so tough, But you’re my light, my greatest love, my precious love. Every hour, every moment that I’ve lost, I gave it all for you, though you don’t see the cost. I build the bridges, yet stand here alone, I’d do anything, just to see you grown. *(Chorus)* For you, my child, I’ll go to the end, The world can turn, but I’ll hold your hand, my friend. For you, my child, I’ll carry each weight, Even when my heart breaks, you are my fate. *(Verse 2)* Sometimes you ask why I never rest, I look at you, and all I need is your smile, the best. Sacrifices made, but no one ever knows, I stay strong for you, though inside I decompose. The years fly by, and you start to grow, But I’ll still be the man who’ll never let you go. You may never know how much I’ve given away, For you, my child, I’ve lost my own way. *(Chorus)* For you, my child, I’ll go to the end, The world can turn, but I’ll hold your hand, my friend. For you, my child, I’ll carry each weight, Even when my heart breaks, you are my fate. *(Bridge)* Sometimes I look in the mirror and ask, If you know what I’ve done, what I’ve given, no mask. I laid down my life, just for your smile, You’re my anchor, my reason, my heart’s trial. *(Chorus)* For you, my child, I’ll go to the end, The world can turn, but I’ll hold your hand, my friend. For you, my child, I’ll carry each weight, Even when my heart breaks, you are my fate. *(Outro)* And when the day comes, and you’ve grown and flown, I’ll stand here, and understand the path you’ve known. Cause everything I did was for you, it’s true, You are my life, my heart, my view. -
