[Verse 2]  
Bb  
A mere child he brought under his wings  
Dm                    C  
Wings of anything but pride  

Bb                   C  
Had brought upon her parts of his life  
      Dm  
Disallowed a child to be child  
Bb  
   A being that, unable to fly  
Dm                   C  
He caged and left to sink  

Bb                        C  
Knew well that once sun's rays appeared  
         Dm  
Care and her life would have no link  
F                   Gm   Bb     Gm   Bb  
His frail and split mind had convinced  
C              Dm    C  
Himself to not try  

[Chorus]  
F    C          G  
With her in his hands  
Bb    Gm     Bb      C      Dm    C  
He convinced himself to not cry
