[Opening Verse]

Oh son of mine,

I just can’t define

Everything you mean to me

You know I love you now,

but I’ll love even more somehow

Who you are one day gonna be



[Verse]

Oh I prayed with desperation

Loved you before we met

A crystal dream sheltered in my soul that no time could make forget

And when I finally held you in my arms

I poured my heart into yours

To raise you from the inside-out

And prepare you for this world



[CHORUS]

So let my love be a pillar and never a chain

Let my heart beat steady in the sun and in the rain

Let my arms be your safety when you slip and fall

And let my heart shape yours to be good - and be strong



[BRIDGE]

My sweet boy I pray each morning

That my love will one day show

How to cherish and protect

A family of your own

'Cause I've held you the way a heart wants to be held

Showed you the man you could one day be

I gave you a life built on love that is true

Shaped your heart ready to love someone new

Love lessons in love



[FINAL CHORUS]

Now may your love be a pillar and never a chain

May your heart be steady in sun and in rain

May your arms be her shelter if she slips and falls

May your heart cradle hers - both gentle and strong




[Closing Verse]

Oh son of mine, I just can’t define

Everything you mean to me

You know I loved you then

But I loved even more when

You became the man I dreamed you would be

[Verse 1]

When life sits full of problems I can’t solve

And I’m lost in a maze where I feel so small

I escape these walls and I step outside

Drop my burdens and let nature guide



[Prechorus 1]

I find that

Warm sun

Cool breeze

Daylight dancing

Through the leaves



[Chorus]

All my worries melt away

Forget the time, forget the day


Lord just give me an hour or two

I’ll be back as good as new

Dial it in by hanging it up

How I roll when things get tough


Stop reflecting

And start finding

My place in life

While I’m just vibing




[Verse 2]

When the work piles up, but respect goes down

And I spin my wheels just to be their clown

I head on home when the workday’s done

Too tired for friends, too drained for fun



[Prechorus 2]

But I got a

Cold drink

Warm snack

TV show

From the past



[Chorus]

All my worries melt away

Forget the time, forget the day


Lord just give me an hour or two

I’ll be back as good as new

Dial it in by hanging it up

How I roll when things get tough


Stop reflecting

And start finding

My place in life

While I’m just vibing




[Bridge - Verse 3]

When I feel like a fish swimming way upstream

The one in the crowd who’s never seen

My voice too faint and my face too plain

Can’t make a difference nothing to gain



[Prechorus 3]

That's when I

Turn it up!

Sing out loud

Dancing

Wednesday Addams proud



[Chorus]

All my worries melt away

Forget the time, forget the day


Lord just give me an hour or two

I’ll be back as good as new

Dial it in by hanging it up

How I roll when things get tough


Stop reflecting

And start finding

My place in life

While I’m just vibing

Oh, just vibing

I'm vibing

Mmmhmmm



[Outro]

This world is big

And I am small

But I don’t have to

Know it all


I’m just vibing

Just vibing

[Verse]
Girl, you know I ain’t no Einstein
I thought Tesla was just a car
But when it comes to laws of attraction
I’m pretty doggone smart

See I think we’ve got potential
We’re a real magnetic pair
Our bond is elemental
Electricity’s in the air

[Prechorus]
Stomach drops
Blood pounds
Ears fill with
That buzzin’ sound

[Chorus]
You’ve got me all off balance
I’m in an altered state
My world is fallin’ sideways
And I just can’t concentrate

You’ve got me all off balance
I just can’t get enough
I’m spinning in a centrifuge
It’s the chemistry

The chemistry of love


[Verse]
When our eyes catch, I feel that zap
(Girl, I know you feel it too)
And when our arms brush, I near combust
(From that little quiver that you do)

This powerful reaction
Tells me you’re the one
You melt all my resistance
Burning hotter than the sun


[Prechorus]
Stomach drops
Blood pounds
Ears fill with
That buzzin’ sound

[Chorus]
You’ve got me all off balance
I’m in an altered state
My world is fallin’ sideways
And I just can’t concentrate

You’ve got me all off balance
I just can’t get enough
I’m spinning in a centrifuge
It’s the chemistry

The chemistry of love


[Bridge]
My need for you is constant
It’s more than just a phase
There’s only one solution
Love you ‘till my dying days


[Final chorus]
You got me all off balance
I just can’t get enough
Spinning in a centrifuge
Chemistry

The chemistry of love

[Verse 1]
It’s not the way I planned it
This path that I am on
Landscape so unfamiliar
My dreams so far long gone

[Prechorus]
You cut me free
You couldn’t see
That you held Aladdin’s lamp in hand
When you once treasured me

[Verse 2]
The pain still burns like acid
Disappointment paints my soul
Anger lurks beneath the surface
Because you broke what once was whole

[Verse 3]
Time slips into the distance
A life in my rear view
A past, present, future
A dream I’d built with you

[Prechorus]
But now I’m free
Free to be me
Release the chains of expectations
Allow myself to just be

[Chorus]
What I feel
Who I am
What I want
Who I can
Or who I should be
I’m finally free
To just be me

[Bridge]
The road ahead uncertain
Calls me to be brave
It’s time to test my limits
Rise up beyond this cave

[Prechorus]
Because I’m free
Free to be me
Shed the weight of failed intentions
Be who I’m meant to be

[Chorus]
What I feel
Who I am
What I want
What I can
Or who I should be
I’m finally free
To just be me

[Outro]
I’m finally free
Free to be me

[Verse 1]

Each sunrise brings rain showers

As I cross the cold floor tile

Wipe tears from my reflection

To practice today’s smile



[Chorus]

Will you still love me if I forget to laugh

Recognize me through my tears

Will you hear my heartbreak when a sigh slips out

Know that strength just masks my fears



[Verse 2]

All along you’ve seen what you wanted to see

Like a dream your heart once caught

While I pulled the strings of my puppet self

To be what I am not



[Verse 3]

Does the weight of my worry offend you

The depth of my pain seem a waste

Keep your pity but give understanding

That this part of me can’t be erased


[Bridge]

Love all of me

Look close and know

Let the cracks reveal

The truth below



[Chorus]

Will you still love me if I forget to laugh

Recognize me through my tears

Will you hear my heartbreak when a sigh slips out

Know that strength just masks my fears



[Final Chorus]

So smile for me when I can’t laugh

See the pain that drives my tears

Hold my heart gently when I sigh

Sit with me in my fears



[Outro]

Love all of me

Look close

Love all of me

And know

All of me

Love all of me

[Verse 1]

We meet today but not yesterday

And maybe not tomorrow

Miles and must-dos direct the time

That’s only ours to borrow



[Prechorus]

Oh, I still know you

Though we’ve both been gone

Oh, hearts don’t forget

No matter how long



[Chorus]

Shimmering stills on a silent screen

Life in a stop-frame rhythm

Unspooling memories with space between

Treasure each day we’re given



Loving you through skipping reels

This must be how God feels



[Verse 2]

Every phone call a welcome whisper

Each text echoes from the last

Captions that patch together portraits

In the silence of the gaps



[Prechorus]

Oh, I still know you

Though we’ve both been gone

Oh, hearts don’t forget

No matter how long



[Chorus]

Shimmering stills on a silent screen

Life in a stop-frame rhythm

Unspooling memories with space between

Treasure each day we’re given



Loving you through skipping reels

This must be how God feels





[Bridge]

Our time together is bittersweet

This moment that holds us two

A new timestamp ‘till we meet again

How I’ll remember you

Remember you

Remember you



[Chorus]

Shimmering stills on a silent screen

Life in a stop-frame rhythm

Unspooling memories with space between

Treasure each day we’re given



[Prechorus]

Oh, I still know you

Though we’ve both been gone

Oh, hearts don’t forget

No matter how long



[Chorus]

Shimmering stills on a silent screen

Life in a stop-frame rhythm

Unspooling memories with space between

Treasure each day we’re given



[Outro]

Loving you through skipping reels

This must be how God feels



This must be how God feels

[Verse]

I was drifting with no paddle

Too hurt to brave the shore

No faith that my course mattered

Or was destined for a port



And suddenly you were

The very center of my world

Compass, glass, charts aligned

Life’s purpose now unfurled



[Chorus]

Every field of buttercups

Should have a speckled pony

A breezy summer day

Without a kite just seems lonely

A babbling brook goes silent

Without a splashing child or two

And my heart would be so empty

If it didn’t shelter you



[Verse]

When nightmares wake me trembling

Heart racing, slick with fear

Your steady, gentle breathing

Reassures me you are near



Any terrors my dreams conjure

Fade when I see your face

Dark lashes brushed on velvet cheeks

Paint heaven’s happy place



[Chorus]

Every field of buttercups

Should have a speckled pony

A breezy summer day

Without a kite just seems lonely

A babbling brook goes silent

Without a splashing child or two

And my heart would be so empty

If it didn’t shelter you



[Bridge]

All the pieces of my story

Scattered, aching, torn in two

Came together in the moment

When my world became you



Shelter you

Shelter you

You are my

Shelter you



[Final Chorus]

Every field of buttercups

Needs its speckled pony

A breezy summer day

Without a kite is so lonely

A babbling brook slumbers

Until a child comes splashing through

My life first found its meaning

When I sheltered you



[Outro]

Shelter

Shelter

Shelter

Shelter you
