Through Fire and Grace (For Ryah)

Verse 1: I remember the moment, your first gentle cry, When you entered my world, my sweet little butterfly. Held you so close, heart filled with awe, A father's promise, an unbreakable law. Chorus: Through fire and grace, I'll be by your side, No matter the battles, no matter the ride. In the depths of despair or skies up above, I'll protect you always, my unending love. Verse 2: Your first little smiles, those precious cues, Each tiny moment, I don't want to lose. Watching you grow, my heart's bittersweet, From the day you were born, you've made my life complete. Chorus: Through fire and grace, I'll be by your side, No matter the battles, no matter the ride. In the depths of despair or skies up above, I'll protect you always, my unending love. Bridge: One day you'll walk, and soon you'll run, Your voice like a melody, brighter than the sun. Though time flies by, my heart will stay, Cherishing you, every single day. Verse 3: I named you Ryah, for my brother Ryan, Lost him in '13, but in you, I see him shinin'. You're my hope, my strength, my saving grace, In your eyes, I see his face. Chorus: Through fire and grace, I'll be by your side, No matter the battles, no matter the ride. In the depths of despair or skies up above, I'll protect you always, my unending love. Outro: So dream sweet tonight, in your crib so small, Daddy's here always, to catch every fall. Your first steps, your first words, I'll be there through it all, My love for you, Ryah, stands strong and tall.
