When you are old enough to read these words, their meaning will unfold
                      C majorC        D MajorD     A augmentedA
These words are all that's left and though we've never met, my only son
A augmentedA                                C majorC
I hope you know that I would have been there to watch you grow
      D MajorD       A augmentedA
But my call was heard and I did go
A augmentedA                 C majorC       D MajorD      A augmentedA
Now, your mission lies ahead of you as it did mine so long ago
A augmentedA                        C majorC
To help the helpless ones who all look up to you
       D MajorD  A augmentedA      C majorC D MajorD FF G+G C majorC
And to defend them to the end
C majorC    A augmentedA

So it is written, it shall be
