Tender Years

In early years I depended on you You were big and strong my only hero In my tender eyes you knew what to do When it comes to life, we start at zero Gaining more each day, I learned how to walk You were big and stong my only hero As time would go on, I would hear you talk They were painful words that you gave to me Gaining more each day, I learned how to walk I could not imagine things I would see The World you gave me was devoid of sun They were painful words that you gave to me Eventually I would learn how to run I was never meant to live like a slave The World you gave me was devoid of sun God is my hero, I've learned to be brave I was never meant to live like a slave In my early years, I depended on you In my tender eyes you knew what to do
