Your resilience inspires me 
Facing tragedies I will never face 
Your presence is humbling 
To think of all that you have [bad word] 
It took such little pain 
For our lives to coalesce 
Finding what I could've found in no one else 

You bring me through the darkness of myself 
And show me that frailty can be turned to strength 

Suffering 
Persistence 
Such sorrow 
Yet resilience 

From the outside I've deceived the world 
With false bravery 
Yet you have taught me so much more 
Much more than I can ever teach 
And someday you might 
Need someone to lean on 

I can only hope that I'll have gained the courage 
To be there for you in whatever you face 
You bring me trough (you bring me through) 
The darkness of myself 
And show me that frailty (can be turned) 
Can be turned to strength 

Suffering 
Persistence 
Such sorrow 
Yet resilience 

At times I'm carried on the shoulders of a child 
I find power in your firm fallibility 
My source of hope is seeing that weak prevail 
And I'm better able to live because you're alive 
I could not imagine a world without you 
Where I looked you in the eyes and left you to die 

Suffering 
Persistence 
Such sorrow 
Yet resilience
