[Verse 1]
He came to me
A wail at dawn
Soft as silk
A lamb unshorn
Eyes too wise for a child so small
I swore he’d never see the fall
[Chorus]
Born of shadows
Born of light
Tell me wrong from what feels right
I’ll defend him
I’ll defend him
Though the whispers say I’m blind
[Verse 2]
Hands so sweet
They crush the bloom
A storm brews deep inside his room
They say his laughter chills the air
But he's my son
It isn’t fair
[Prechorus]
Oh
The books they burn
The signs they show
But how can love let evil grow?
[Chorus]
Born of shadows
Born of light
Tell me wrong from what feels right
I’ll defend him
I’ll defend him
Though the whispers say I’m blind
[Bridge]
Last night he carved his name in stone
Said the earth would bow
The stars would groan
But when he sleeps
He holds my hand—
Could darkness come from something planned?
