There are some days that are bad right from the start

I saw you stumble, I saw you fall

You don't know dear what the day may bring

With all of us here we must stand and sing

You're my hero,

And I wish you hadn't had to, but now you're stronger inside

Just a bird in a cage waiting for sunlight
