[Verse 1]
I held you first before the world did
Tiny hands, my reason to live
You changed my name, turned me from a man
To someone who’ll fight ‘til he can’t stand
[Verse 2]
Every scar I wear, I’d take again
If it means I get to see you win
You won’t see me cry, but I’ve bled inside
Just to keep your demons far from your light
[Chorus]
And I’ll always be your shelter
When the storm comes down on you
When you’re lost, I’ll be your anchor
When the world is cold and cruel
I won’t promise I’ll be perfect
But I’ll die before I let you fall
I’ll be the fire, I’ll be the wall
I’ll always be your shelter, through it all
[Verse 3]
There’ll come a day you’ll walk alone
Chasing dreams you’ll call your own
But don’t forget where you belong
In my heart, you’re never gone
[Bridge - soaring guitar solo before it kicks in]
If life ever breaks your wings
Come back home, you’ll find me waiting
I’ve built my strength for you to lean
No matter what time brings
[Final Chorus]
And I’ll always be your shelter
When the storm comes down on you
When the weight feels like forever
I’ll be strong enough for two
I won’t promise I’ll be perfect
But I’ll rise each time you call
Through the fire, through the fall
I’ll always be your shelter, through it all
