When we were children you fought my battles Taught me patience, gave me courage Life was good then, you were with me Nothing could hurt us... we had each other
Somehow I thought you would always be here Sharing my fears, drying my tears Laughing with me, in the darkness Now I'm alone ... I must be strong ( Alt: Now I'm the one ... who must be strong)
Sometimes at night if I listen closely I can hear you, whisper softly You are with me, now and always You found peace now... you are free now
Coda:
So I will go on for I believe that we will meet again.
