[Verse 1 – lead] We’ve seen you fight the darkness once and walk back into light Saw the strength you carried with you through the longest, hardest night But sometimes even heroes face a storm they can’t outrun And the fellas feel the weight now Of what’s slowly being done [Verse 1 – background] (of what’s slowly being done) [Chorus – all] We stand beside you, fella (beside you) In the days that feel too long (feel too long) You said “I’m Dail Milton” (Milton) And we answered with a song We stand beside you, fella (beside you) Though the fight is wearing thin (wearing thin) If the world won’t let you beat this Then we’ll carry you within (carry you within) [Verse 2 – lead] There’s courage in the battles won, and courage when they’re not There’s honor in the footsteps where your strength and heart were taught You showed us what resilience means, what grace looks like in pain And the fellas hold that memory Like a shelter in the rain [Verse 2 – background] (like a shelter in the rain) [Chorus – all] We stand beside you, fella (beside you) In the days that feel too long (feel too long) You said “I’m Dail Milton” (Milton) And we answered with a song We stand beside you, fella (beside you) When the nights grow cold and thin (cold and thin) If the world won’t let you beat this Then we’ll carry you within (carry you within) [Bridge – chant, printed four times, quiet] You are loved (you are loved) More than you can know (than you know) You are loved (you are loved) Fellas never go (never go) You are loved (you are loved) In the hardest part (hardest part) You are loved (you are loved) Held in every heart (every heart) [Final Chorus – all, soft] We stand beside you, fella (beside you) In the story as it stands (as it stands) You said “I’m Dail Milton” (Milton) And we held you with our hands We stand beside you, fella (beside you) Through the loss we can’t outrun (can’t outrun) You can’t beat every battle But you never fought alone (never fought alone)
