Description
I’ve never understood / How you turned out so good
With all that you’ve had to endure
No-one expected you / To make the best of you
The deck stacked against you, for sure
The more that I learn / The more I admire
How you never got burned being forged in the fire
CHORUS An ordinary mortal would have quit by now
With a life like a field full of mines
You’re human, I know, Only muscle and bone (alt: Made of muscle and bone)
But you must have steel in your spine
VERSE 2: You never talk about / When you first figured out
That you’d have to go it alone
Breaks my heart to picture you / A child hiding out of view
So young to fight on your own, Still here you stand / Still here you are
Igniting the world with your luminous heart
BRIDGE: And that would explain how you never admit any pain
So let me just say, that child has a lot to be proud of
But no longer needs to keep the world at bay
