Opened my eyes into this world
In her arms my body was curled
Couldn't see her but felt it clear
Shelter of endless love so near
Picture in the album can recall
When he held me then so small
Golden spark in his eyes so bright
It could light up the darkest night
Two years had passed of us three
Then you came to life so free
You were a blessing in the spring days
With smile so dear and ocean gaze
She kept you warm in her embrace
Filled with joy when she saw your face
You couldn't see but you felt it too
Shelter of endless love for us two
He wasn't here to hear your first cry
But prayed every night for time to fly
Marked in calendar the day to return
Hold you, support you and watch you learn
Your first little steps and clumsy words
He sang you to sleep till the sound of birds
She cured your wounds when you would fall
He taught you football in our hall
Whenever you needed they were there
Until the laughter became more rare
Sobs under blanket replaced the joy
Underneath was a hurt little boy
I knew what you felt cause I did too
We didn't want to believe it was true
Desperately trying to get him out of bed
He seemed so calm while our hearts bled
But it was not calm inside his mind
You thought for us that he was blind
So occupied with thoughts of his own
He became a man not to us known
Years became a decade and even more
You slowly forgot the man from before
Although he was there for you to see
You only seeked comfort in her and me
When all you wanted was that he
For once looked in your gaze of sea
And saw in the storm and ocean wave
That you are the one he needed to save
