Always waiting for a word left unsaid
Always looking for a roadblock ahead
But don't watch the road – just keep your eyes fixed on me
I'm an army and for you I'll extend
Both my arms, an attempt to mend
What's broken and failing to be cured
In time I'll erase your hurt
You're a fighter, and you always were
May your body be strong drawn from strength of character
When we were babies, we had no idea
And all the 'maybes' of our teenage years
All but took us out before we even felt in
In time I'll erase your hurt
You're a fighter, and you always were
May your body be strong drawn from strength of character
If who you are matters at all
When this goes down, if it goes down at all
Then you by far, you have raised the bar
In time I'll erase your hurt
You're a fighter, and you always were
May your body be strong
May your body be strong
May your body be strong drawn from strength of character
Strength of character
God knows you're a fighter, and you always were
How this will end, I can't be sure
But I know your strength of character
Always waiting for a word left unsaid
Always looking for a roadblock ahead
But don't watch the road – just keep your eyes fixed on me
