Your hearts are held safely inside my heart,

Your bodies are free to explore,

The world’s an adventure and you’ll play your part,

I’ll watch as you flourish and soar.

 

Childhood is short and for that I am glad

Because freedom will come with more years,

The love that we’ve shared and the fun that we’ve had,

Will have triumphed ahead of all fears.

 

I promise I’ll carry you with me,

Your hearts and your souls and your minds.

I’ll hold and protect them until you are free,

And a future of freedom you’ll find.
