Lifeline

Take me back to when I was 10 years old

I wanted nothing more than to be like you

In that moment, you took my hand, life was unsure, but you promised it’d okay

You stand tall above the scars

Not letting the past define you

The light of your smile, embracing everyone

Showing me what it means to be

A better person because of you

You taught me to love and change my point of view

I can face my fears, look straight into the mirror

Learned my strength and it’s all ‘cause of you

On that autumn day surrounded by loved ones

I cried seeing you in white when I swore not too

In that moment, when he took your hand, life was perfect, and I knew you’d be okay

And you, you lead with grace

Pathing the way with compassion, love, and empathy

Always staying close by just in case

To a world outside, you are my lifeline

I’m a better person because of you

You taught me to love and change my point of view

I can face my fears, look straight into the mirror

Learned my strength and it’s all ‘cause of you

After all these years you still believe in me

Supporting my interests and the person that I am meant to be

After all these years you still know what to say

The right thing, the right way

I’m a better person because of you

You taught me to love and change my point of view

I can face my fears, look straight into the mirror

Learned my strength and it’s all ‘cause of you
