I remember you on Park Avenue
When your mother brought you through to the living room
I was only five and you were an only child
And that's when I decided I would gladly die for you
'Cause you're my world
Kills me to think all that you have endured
Oh, Lord
It's much too young at 24
Three years of hell you stood on trial for your heart
And that's just the start
'Cause I know you cry in the middle of nights
Don't go downtown 'cause you're scared of the lights, I know
I can see it in your eyes
And I know that it took a little piece of your life
But the way you fought and the way you fight so bold
And now you'll never walk alone
Hoo-ooh
Hoo-ooh
Oh, the lifeless faces
The lives you're saving
Hoo-ooh
Hoo-ooh
But my heart is breaking
It's hard to see you so, so brave
Remember when we were kids
That time you bust your lip
Well you showed no fear and that never changed throughout the years
When the jury gave the guilty charge
I saw your face and you were the light in the dark
Yes you are
Yeah, and you were much too young to be falling apart
Now all your fears are standing behind bars
And that's just the start
'Cause I know you cry in the middle of nights
Don't go downtown 'cause you're scared of the lights, I know
I can see it in your eyes
And I know that it took a little piece of your life
But the way you fought and the way you fight so bold
And now you'll never walk alone
Hoo-ooh
Hoo-ooh
Oh, the lifeless faces
The lives you're saving
Hoo-ooh
Hoo-ooh
But my heart is breaking
It's hard to see you so, so brave
(so brave, so brave, so brave, so brave)
(so brave, so brave, so brave, so brave)
(so brave, so brave, so brave)
(ah, so brave)
