When you found me I was broken

Crawling, drifting, future bleak

Gave me shelter from the darkness

And a voice so I could speak

 

You stood up for me against it

With a spine as strong as steel

And you held me close beside you

I never doubted how you feel

 

My prayers had now been answered

And my pain could now subside

Your human hands were gentle

And your mercy gave me pride

 

When my time had come and gone

And I took my wings to fly

You cried every tear you had

But you wouldn’t say goodbye

 

As I crossed that bridge to sunshine

With its colours bright and true

My heart was filled with love

And that love belongs to you
