[Verse]
    G                       C
The first thing that you'll notice 
is some
Em7        D
separation from each other
G            C                 Em7
Yes, it's a lie; is that we've been
                 D
believing since time immemorial
G             C           Em7
There was an apple, there was a 
snake, there
D
was division
G           C                  
There was a split, there was a 
Em7
conflict in
    D             G  C  Em7  D
the fabric of life


[Verse]
G          C            Em7     
One became two and then everyone
          D
 was out for

themselves
G             C                  
Everyone was pitted against each 
Em7
other;
         D
conflict ruled the realm
G          C              Em7
All our devotions and temperaments 
are
       D                   G
pulled from different wells
             C            Em7   
They seem to easily forget we are 
   D
made of
              G  C  Em7  D
the same cells.


[Chorus]
       G C          Em7       D
To my boy: all that energy so wild
Continúa después del anuncio
        G   C          Em7      
All you hues and your blues in equal
D
 measure
     Em7               D        C
Your comings and your goings-away
   Em7             D        C    
My mission is to keep the light 
       D
in your eyes
      G  C  Em7  D
ablaze


[Verse]
    G                   C         
The second thing you'll notice is 
     Em7
that often
         D                   G
we think that there's not enough
              C                   
It might feel dark, it might feel 
Em7
lonely and
        D                G
you'll wonder why you're here
            C            Em7
You may be overcome with darkness 
and a
D                   G
sense of hopelessness
             C             Em7
But it won't matter if you keep your
 core
 D                      G  C Em7 D
connected to the one-ness


[Chorus]
      G   C           Em7         
To my girl: to your innocence and 
 D
fire
         G        C           Em7
When you reach out, I am here Hell 
or High
D
Water
     Em7               D        C
This nest is never going away
   Em7             D        C    
My mission is to keep the light 
       D
in your eyes
 G
ablaze


[Bridge]
         D         Am
And this cord is unbreakable.
     C                            
This pilot light is there in your 
G
pocket
         D               Am
And this bond, beyond un-shakeable
C                  D             
Even if we all forget, all at the
        G   C
 same time,
Em7         D            G    C 
If we forget at the same time.
Em7 D


[Verse]
      G   C           Em7   
To my boy, my precious, gentle 
       D
warrior
         G        C           Em7
To your sweetness and your 
           D
strength in exploring
     Em7               D        C
May this bond stay with you through 
all your days
Em7             D        C      
My mission is to keep the light 
     D
in your eyes ablaze


[Verse]
      G   C           Em7         
To my girl: all your innocence and 
 D
fire
         G        C           Em7
When you reach out, I am here Hell 
or High
D
Water
     Em7           D        C
This nest is never going away
Em7             D        C
My mission is to keep the light in 
your
D       G  C Em7 D
eyes...

           G           C           
(To my boy) First thing that you'll
Em7                    D
 notice is that everything is 
temporary
           G           C           
(To my girl) Next that you might 
Em7                    D
now is that we will always be a 
family
           G           C        
(To my boy) My mission is to keep 
   Em7                    D
the light in your eyes ablaze
