I choked back tears today
because I can't begin to say
how much you've shaped this boy
these last ten years or more

My friends, we've seen it all
Triumphs to drunken falls
And our bones are broken still
but our hearts are joined until
time slips its tired hand into our tired hands
We've years 'til that day
and so much more to say

You give the strength to me
a strength I never had
I was a mess you see
I'd lost the plot so bad
You dragged me up and out
out of the darkest place
There's not a single doubt
when I can see your faces

My friends, we've seen it all
when it made no sense at all
You dare to light my path
and found the beauty in the aftermath

Let me hold you up
like you held me up
It's too long to never say this
you must know I've always thought

You give the strength to me
a strength I never had
I was a mess you see
I'd lost the plot so bad
You dragged me up and out
out of the darkest place
There's not a single doubt
when I can see your faces

You give the strength to me
a strength I never had
I was a mess you see
I'd lost the plot so bad
You dragged me up and out
out of the darkest place
There's not a single doubt
when I can see your faces
