All the violence in your soul
G                      C        G
All the 'wrong' things you have done
C      G             D      G
I will take from you when I come

G                 C     G
All mistakes made in distress
C   G       D    G
All your unhappiness

I will take away with my kiss, yes

I will give you tenderness

[Chorus]
G                 C         G         C
For child I am so glad I've found you

Although my arms have always been around you

Sweet bird although you did not see me
