When you were born, I poured my love through you And carried you along with the eagles As the seasons changed you flew with them Higher and higher So high I could no longer see you And just when the world seemed so small And I no longer felt your presence I cried for you When all I could do was offer you my tears To wash away the pain And when my tears dried I sighed for you When my breath of life was all I had left I filled my lungs with your pain I couldn't take it away, But I could share it And when I could live no more, I held you up with my lifeless body Never wanting you to touch the ground To be so close that your spirit be breathed from the air
