Alannah

I was walking down a dark and heavy road

Losing myself to a dangerous load

Slipping away, I was fading so fast

Trapped in the chains of a troubled past

But then came the day that you took your first breath

And Alannah, you pulled me right back from the edge

You saved me from the shadows, gave me a brand new start

And put a steady rhythm back into my heart

Oh, Alannah, with your heart of pure gold

So selfless and humble, a wonder to behold

I love you more than any words can express

You brought me to the light out of my distress

No matter what comes, no matter what you do

I will always be standing right beside you

I watch how you give, how you put others first

A quiet kind of grace in a loud universe

You never ask for praise, you just do what is right

Walking through the world as a gentle light

You rescued my soul when I needed it most

Guided my spirit safely back to the coast

Now I look at the beautiful person I see

And I thank the stars you were given to me

Oh, Alannah, with your heart of pure gold

So selfless and humble, a wonder to behold

I love you more than any words can express

You brought me to the light out of my distress

No matter what comes, no matter what you do

I will always be standing right beside you

If the tears ever fall, if the sky turns gray

Just reach out your hand, I won't be far away

You saved my life before you even knew how to speak

So I will be your shelter whenever you feel weak

My beautiful daughter, my greatest truth

I owe every single my tomorrow to you

Oh, Alannah, with your heart of pure gold

So selfless and humble, a wonder to behold

I love you more than any words can express

You brought me to the light out of my distress

No matter what comes, no matter what you do

I will always be standing right beside you

Yes, I will always, always be beside you
