"Yes, my dear I'd sacrifice my light for you There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do for you In the blink of an eye I'd rip the most distant of stars Out of the sky for you I'd sacrifice my light for you Should yours ever dim out Cross my heart and hope to die I'd go a step further... I'd sacrifice my life for you I'd be your beacon of light If you're lost in darkness I'd give you my wings If you're unable to take flight I'd be the river of happiness That flows through your heart When you're beset By a drought of sadness" A parent's promise to his child...
