I Will

Sorry, it;s kind of long

 

You’re up in the nest,

And though you’re sick,

You’re the first bird,

I’d ever pick,

You’re the only one that believes,

That I can change,

Become what I can’t see,

You’re the ugly duckling,

But so am I,

And in the future,

Together we’ll fly,

You’re still very sick,

but I will make it all better,

And we’ll stay forever,

Two birds of a feather,

For you I will,

For you I would,

For you I’ll heal you in anyway that I could.

 

My small little bird,

Why don’t you fly?

You sit here all day to wallow and cry,

Just let it all go,

I’ll take the heat,

I will be here,

I won’t miss a beat,

And if you leave me right now,

You won’t be at fault,

Just fly up so high,

I’ll take the assaults,

Though your flight is early,

I can manage alone,

I’ll always remember you,

Your name’s set in stone,

For you I will,

For you I would,

For you I remember everything that was good.

 

So you’ve flown away,

Been gone for a while,

And though every day,

It’s harder to smile,

I keep a brave face,

I will never let it crumble,

Because of you,

I will always stay humble,

My time here’s been longer,

And while my body’s grown stronger,

I can’t stand the truth,

That you died just last month,

While still in your youth,

But for you I will heal,

And I will change,

Our dreams will be real,

But it won’t be the same,

For you I will,

For you I would,

For you I’ll live, and do what I should
