[Verse]
    G                       C              Em7        D
The first thing that you'll notice is some separation from each other
G            C              Em7                  D
Yes, it's a lie; we've been believing since time immemorial
G               C           Em7                D
  There was an apple, there was a snake, there was division
G             C                  Em7             D            G  C  Em7  D
  There was a split, there was a conflict in the fabric of life

[Verse]
G          C                 Em7         D
One became two and then everyone was out for themselves
G             C             Em7              D             G
Everyone was pitted against each other; conflict ruled the realm
        C              Em7                    D              G
All our devotions and temperaments are pulled from different wells
             C         Em7        D            G         C  Em7  D
They seem to easily forget we are made, of the same cells

[Chorus]
       G C          Em7       D
To my boy; all that energy so wild
        G   C          Em7            D
All you hues; and your blues in equal measure
     G                C       Em7 D
Your comings and your goings-away
   G             C        Em7           D    G     C  Em7  D
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze

[Verse]
    G                   C              Em7            D                   G
The second thing you'll notice is that often we think that there's not enough
              C                   Em7               D                 G
It might feel dark, it might feel lonely and you'll wonder why you're here
            C            Em7            D                 G
You may be overcome with darkness and a sense of hopelessness
             C             Em7            D                G       C Em7 D
But it won't matter if you keep your core connected to the one-ness

[Chorus]
      G   C         Em7          D
To my girl: oh your innocence and fire
         G        C           Em7          D
When you reach out, I am here Hell or High Water
     G             C      Em7 D
This nest is never going away
   G             C        Em7           D     G    C  Em7  D
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze


[Bridge]
         Bm         G
And this cord is unbreakable.
     Em                           Dsus2
This pilot light is there in your pocket
         Bm              G
And this bond, beyond un-shakeable
Em                 Dsus2          C         Em7 D
Even if we all forget, all at the same time,
         G           C      Em7 D
If we forget at the same time

[Chorus]
      G  C     Em7              D
To my boy,  my precious gentle warrior
        G         C           Em7             D
To your sweetness; And your strength and exploring
         G                   C               Em7  D
May this bond stay with you through all your days
   G             C        Em7           D     G    C  Em7  D
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze

[Chorus]
      G   C         Em7          D
To my girl: oh your innocence and fire
         G        C           Em7          D
When you reach out, I am here Hell or High Water
     G             C     Em7  D
This nest is never going away
   G             C        Em7           D     G    C  Em7  D
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze

[Outro]
      G                       C              Em7           D
To my boy

     (First thing that you'll notice is that everything is temporary)
      G                    C              Em7            D
To my girl

     (Next thing you might notice is that we will always be family)
      G             C        Em7           D     G
To my boy
