I wish that I
Could take it all away
The pain and strife
This life will bring
I wish I could
Shield you safe
From all of these
Demons; always lurking
I wish the hurt
You feel could be put on me
The tears you've cried;
No longer
You will hurt
I know and am sad
Sometimes in life
It never goes away
I can't protect you
Can't take your place
But please, oh please
Know I'll love you always
