(Verse 1)
Mya, you found me somewhere I don’t talk about
Back when the nights ran long and the lights burned out
I was half a man with a heavy hand
On a life I didn’t understand
You didn’t ask for nothin’, didn’t try to run
Just sat right there in the wreck I’d become
(Chorus)
And you picked me up off the ground I was stuck in
When I was fightin’ a war I wasn’t winnin’
Now you’re carryin’ a life that we made in the dark
Turnin’ my lost days into a brand new start
Yeah, you’re steady as the fields when the wind cuts through
And God knows I don’t say it enough, but it’s true
From the man I was to the man I am
That change started with your hand
(Verse 2)
You’re there for Baby Bear like the sun comes up
No matter how tired, you still give love
There’s a calm in the way you hold that child
Like the world makes sense for a little while
And I watch you now with that quiet strength
Buildin’ a life that’s got real weight
(Chorus)
Yeah, you picked me up off the ground I was stuck in
When I was fightin’ a war I wasn’t winnin’
Now you’re carryin’ a life that we made in the dark
Turnin’ my lost days into a brand new start
Yeah, you’re steady as the fields when the wind cuts through
And God knows I don’t say it enough, but it’s true
From the man I was to the man I am
That change started with your hand
(Bridge)
I don’t know what’s comin’, but I ain’t scared now
Got a little more faith than I used to allow
If they’ve got your heart, they’ll be just fine
Yeah, they’ll be better than this life of mine
(Outro)
So here’s to the nights that don’t feel so long
And the girl who made a broken man strong
Mya… if this world gets wild and strange
You’re the only thing I’d never change
