Iris - The Goo Goo Dolls

When everything's made to be broken,

And hope seems to be stolen,

In times of darkness and despair,

I'll be the light for you to repair.

In a world so full of pain,

Where hearts are shattered, dreams are slain,

I'll be your strength, your guiding force,

Together, we'll find a brighter course.

When the storms of life have taken their toll,

And success seems far beyond your control,

Remember that failure is not the end,

It's just a step on the road to mend.

When doubts consume your weary mind,

And shadows linger, unkind,

I'll be the voice that whispers, "Believe",

An unwavering faith for you to receive.

When everything feels like it's falling apart,

And you're searching for a brand-new start,

I'll remind you of the beauty within,

A spirit so resilient, ready to win.

For even amidst the chaos and strife,

There's a purpose to live this precious life,

You're unique, with talents untold,

Embrace them, let your true self unfold.

When the world tries to define your worth,

Remember that it's you who gave birth,

To dreams and aspirations, burning bright,

Don't let the darkness steal your light.

When everyone else doubts your worth,

Remember, it's you who decides your berth,

Keep pushing forward, don't be dismayed,

You have the strength to rise from the shade.

When everything's made to be broken,

I'll be there, with words unspoken,

To hold your hand and heal your scars,

Together, we'll reach the brightest stars.

So, my dear friend, please always know,

In this journey called life, as we grow,

I see your strength, and I understand,

You're destined for greatness, hand in hand.

"When everything's made to be broken,

I just want you to know who I am.."
