I wake up in the morning, and there you are
The greatest blessing, my brightest star
Your brown eyes tired, your half-smile too
I see the weight, but I still see you

I just want to make you understand
How happy I am just holding your hand
And don't forget, never lose sight
To your family's heart you are life

You are strength, you are light
The guiding flame that keeps us bright
Don't push yourself, you've done enough
Without you here, this home falls rough
You are strength, you are light
In the dark, your soul shines bright
Lay it on me, I'll carry your cross
You are strength, you are light
You are my light

If you could see what I can see
The man you're destined, the man you will be
Every dream is within your hands
I'll cheer for you as you take a stand

I found you broken, but watched you rise
Now I'll be there as you reach the skies
Wait and see your wings will fly
I'll stand beside you, through every fight

I never meant to cause you pain
I'm not perfect, I make mistakes
But my love is true, it will never fall
Love corrects and guides through it all

You are strength, you are light
The guiding flame that keeps us bright
Don't push yourself, you've done enough
Without you here, this home falls rough
You are strength, you are light
In the dark, your soul shines bright
Lay it on me, I'll carry your cross
You are strength, you are light
You are my light

So forgive the wrongs I've done
If you feel like stopping, don't you run
If the crash should come, if the impact is near
I'll be the airbag to shield you here

You are strength (strength!), you are light (light!)
The guiding flame that keeps us bright
Don't push yourself (ah!), safe in love you are (ah!)
In the darkest night, you're still my star
You are strength, you are light
Forever with you, I'll carry your cross

Now you can rest
Now you can breathe
Look into my eyes
You are safe with me
