I'll be your loudest cheerleader
Even when the stands are empty
Be it with or without merit
I love you unconditionally
My life, I would gladly lay to rest
If doing so would preserve your own
To pull you from the depths of Hell
Without regret, I would sell my soul
Yet as my armour begins to rust
Exposing my open wounds
I realize I'm no longer strong enough
To carry us both through
Have courage to climb higher each day
Than you did the day before
Remember how to use your wings
When you're finally ready to soar
Your feet will never leave the ground
If you haven't the faith to leap
But you can bounce from star to star
If you're not afraid to dream
Be not defeated by trials you'll face
Silence the rhetoric of loathing and grief
Realize that through the ugliest of pain
We become our greatest masterpiece
I pray you find your way back home
With the map I made for you
My only wish for you, sweet child
Is that you find joy in all you do
