VERSE I
As I walked and stared thru a young child's eyes
I dreamed to grow like you so strong and wise
An all too perfect version of what reality
Seemed to be to the age of three

You looked to me to grow as I should
There were too many times we misunderstood
An anger had said that the hero had died
Too many tears I never saw you cry

PRE-CHORUS
I know now there where too many times
When I closed you off as you summoned lines
You said itís alright said someday youíll see
The person you saw you someday will be

CHORUS
You do what you can
You canít always save the world
You do what you can
And youíll never let me down
We make our mistakes
In the end we will all come around

VERSE II
Growing older seems to me
I fall into your world you said would be
And realize the reasons of what you had said
I never understood way on back when

Now there are times when you might say
Please forgive me son I made a mistake
I never meant to hurt you with what I did
I know how you must be disappointed

PRE-CHORUS
I know now there where so many times
When I cut you off as you summoned lines
You said itís alright and now I can see
The person I saw I know I will be

CHORUS
You do what you can
You canít always save the world
You do what you can
And youíll never let me down
We make our mistakes
In the end we will all come around

BRIDGE
From dragon scales to fairytales
Journeys set on billowed sales
From crying eyes on dateless nights
Growing pains you couldnít fight
Youíd been there before a child you had been
You had grown up but thru me once again

CHORUS
You do what you can
You canít always save the world
You do what you can
And youíll never let me down
We make our mistakes
In the end we will all come around
