The Reason I Am Here(Verse 1)(Soft piano chords, quiet and intimate)You saw me stumble... you watched me fallLeft in the shadows, losing it allBut in the silence, a miracle grewI look at the light, and I see it's youMy beautiful child, your hand in mineWe're walking a line(Verse 2)(Harp joins softly, adding depth)You've carried burdens too heavy to bearWay more than a child should find waiting out thereLife wasn't fair, it cut to the boneBut you kept a smile that was all of your ownAnd it kills me inside, the pain that you knewOh, Andrew, I'm so proud of you(Chorus)(The music swells, drums enter slow and heavy)'Cause you are my hero, the reason I breatheThe hope in the dark when I couldn't believeI owe you my life, I owe you my soulYou mended a heart that was losing controlMy son, my baby boy...Look at the strength you’ve given me(Verse 3)(Piano and strings hold the rhythm, steady and powerful)Now let me be the shield when the winter winds blowNo matter who tries to divide us belowNo distance, no shadow can keep us apartI’ll stand in the fire to protect your heartI promise to fight, I promise to stayTo wash all your sorrow away(Chorus)(Full power, maximum emotion)'Cause you are my hero, the reason I breatheThe hope in the dark when I couldn't believeI owe you my life, I owe you my soulYou mended a heart that was losing controlMy son, my baby boy...Look at the strength you’ve given me(Bridge)(Drums drop out, just a soaring vocal over a beautiful harp and piano crescendo)And no matter what they say, no matter what they doI will always be there, fighting for youI’ll ease every pain, I’ll carry the weightWe’ll stand and we’ll rise, rewriting our fate(Guitar/Instrumental Climax)(Massive, powerful, emotional release)(Chorus)(Belting, passionate vocals)'Cause you are my hero, the reason I breatheThe hope in the dark when I couldn't believeI owe you my life, I owe you my soulYou mended a heart that was losing controlMy son, my baby boy...Look at the strength you’ve given me(Outro)(Music fades back down to just a soft piano and the gentle pluck of the harp)I love you so deeply, it's a love without endMy beautiful child... my savior, my friendAndrew...You give me strength to keep on going.
