INTROGCGCVERSECEm
I watch her breathing while she sleeps
CEm
And then a feeling buries me
AmD
I'd die to see her walk to me
Em
To smile in disbelief
C
At the ground beneath her feet
VERSE
She cracks a smile and shows her teeth
It's been a year, she looks like me
I'd die to teach her how to pray
To give to God each day
To know it when I say
CHORUSGC
You'll never be alone
GC
You'll never be alone
EmC
Even after all of your innocence is gone
GC
You'll never be alone
VERSE
One day soon she'll say
Daddy, I love a boy and he loves me
And I'll watch her leave and then I'll pray
And give to God that day
And hope her heart is safe
A few weeks later she'll come home
Crying that boy had let her go
He wasn?t ready yet to be
The kind of man she needs
So I hold her close and sing, softly
CHORUS
You'll never be alone
You'll never be alone
Even as your heart is breaking don't lose hope
You'll never be alone
VERSE
One day soon, she'll walk the aisle
My little girl, my precious child
Beautiful woman, veiled and sweet
I'll smile in disbelief
As the tears roll down my cheek
And then I'll whisper, softly
CHORUS

GDA
Wild I AmVERSE
I've been thinking of things I don't know
And I'm not about to settle with the present if my heart wants to go
You've got your convictions and I've got mine
But if you're trying to tame the lion in me it'll be a waste of your time

Wild, wild, I am

I can't stand when my hands are tied
AG
My bed the ground, my roof the sky
