[Strophe]
    G                       C              Em7        D 
The first thing that you'll notice is some separation from each other 
G            C              Em7                  D 
Yes, it's a lie; we've been believing since time immemorial 
G               C           Em7                D 
  There was an apple, there was a snake, there was division 
G             C                  Em7             D            G  C  Em7  D 
  There was a split, there was a conflict in the fabric of life
[Strophe]
G          C                 Em7         D 
One became two and then everyone was out for themselves 
G             C             Em7              D             G 
Everyone was pitted against each other; conflict ruled the realm 
        C              Em7                    D              G 
All our devotions and temperaments are pulled from different wells 
             C         Em7        D            G         C  Em7  D 
They seem to easily forget we are made, of the same cells
[Refrain]
       G C          Em7       D 
To my boy; all that energy so wild 
        G   C          Em7            D 
All you hues; and your blues in equal measure 
     G                C       Em7 D 
Your comings and your goings-away 
   G             C        Em7           D    G     C  Em7  D 
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
[Strophe]
    G                   C              Em7            D                   G 
The second thing you'll notice is that often we think that there's not enough 
              C                   Em7               D                 G 
It might feel dark, it might feel lonely and you'll wonder why you're here 
            C            Em7            D                 G 
You may be overcome with darkness and a sense of hopelessness 
             C             Em7            D                G       C Em7 D 
But it won't matter if you keep your core connected to the one-ness
[Refrain]
      G   C         Em7          D 
To my girl: oh your innocence and fire 
         G        C           Em7          D 
When you reach out, I am here Hell or High Water 
     G             C      Em7 D 
This nest is never going away 
   G             C        Em7           D     G    C  Em7  D 
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
[Pont]
         Bm         G 
And this cord is unbreakable. 
     Em                           Dsus2 
This pilot light is there in your pocket 
         Bm              G 
And this bond, beyond un-shakeable 
Em                 Dsus2          C         Em7 D 
Even if we all forget, all at the same time, 
         G           C      Em7 D 
If we forget at the same time
[Refrain]
      G  C     Em7              D 
To my boy,  my precious gentle warrior 
        G         C           Em7             D 
To your sweetness; And your strength and exploring 
         G                   C               Em7  D 
May this bond stay with you through all your days 
   G             C        Em7           D     G    C  Em7  D 
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
[Refrain]
      G   C         Em7          D 
To my girl: oh your innocence and fire 
         G        C           Em7          D 
When you reach out, I am here Hell or High Water 
     G             C     Em7  D 
This nest is never going away 
   G             C        Em7           D     G    C  Em7  D 
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
[Outro]
           G           C           Em7                    D 
(To my boy) First thing that you'll notice is that everything is temporary 
           G           C           Em7                    D 
(To my girl) Next that you might now is that we will always be a family 
           G           C           Em7                    D 
(To my boy) My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
