My Three Year Old Hero

[00:06.29] O my three-year-old star,

[00:12.29] what can light the nights like your eyes?

[00:18.82] O my three-year-old moon,

[00:24.94] what can wash the shadows like your tears?

[00:30.90] Tonight, I heard your voice, my daughter,

[00:34.53] saying “I just want my father.”

[00:37.68] Now I’m here beside you forever.

[00:44.10] I wanna take you home,

[00:49.86] Close your eyes, it’s time to go.

[00:56.82] I wanna take you home,

[01:03.20] my three-year-old Hero.

[01:18.95] Your wounded feet tell a truth, which I can’t,

[01:25.04] with endless time and thousands of words.

[01:31.87] Your frail hands conquer hearts, which no one can,

[01:37.71] with even millions of soldiers and swords.

[01:43.55] Tonight, I heard your voice, my daughter,

[01:47.19] saying “I just want my father.”

[01:50.25] Now I’m here beside you forever.

[01:56.66] I wanna take you home,

[02:02.70] Close your eyes, it’s time to go.

[02:09.36] I wanna take you home,

[02:15.73] my three-year-old Hero.

[02:23.21] The little girl was hugging her father,

[02:28.52] and playing with his tousled, dusty hair.

[02:35.09] Listening to his tender lullaby,

[02:40.94] she soared with him into the sky.

[02:50.38] I wanna take you home,

[02:56.75] Close your eyes, it’s time to go.

[03:02.80] I wanna take you home,

[03:09.26] my three-year-old Hero.
