For one second you're still here Breathing deeper than you have this whole year I lie awake haunted by change And how little time there seems to be in each day Ah-ah-ah-ah So teach me how to love my demon Teach me how to always reach for the ceiling Teach me how to take a step over the line And not live my life without daring to try So teach me how to walk real tall And lift my head up, know that I am strong Do you know what it's like to lose your daughter? Shot down from the sky when she just learned how to fly I try so hard to remember how to breathe And how to feel the ground beneath my feet Ah-ah, ah-ah I remember when she used to hold me Her glow as warm as the sunbeams What I would give for her just to hold me one last time But now she's gone and all I have is myself and this fleeting time Ah-ah-ah-ah So teach me how to love my demon Teach me how to always reach for the ceiling Teach me how to take a step over the line And not live my life without daring to try So teach me how to walk real tall And lift my head up, know that I am strong Do you know what it's like to lose your daughter? Shot down from the sky when she just learned how to fly
