I walked alone through a world
gone gray
Smiled so no one saw the
pain
Every face just passed me by
Another nod, another goodbye
The weight inside was all I'd
known
Fighting battles on my own
Never thought a soul would care
Never dreamed that you'd be there
Then one small moment changed my
road
A simple kindness I still hold
You found me walking in the
abyss
Where hope was just a word
I'd missed
One hello became a light
That slowly chased away the night
From quiet streams to endless days
You helped me find a better
way You'll probably never see yourself
the way
I do
But Bear, you saved me
just by being you
We started out with little words
Simple laughs I'd never heard Then
came stories, games,
and songs Somehow,
that's where I belonged You pulled
me out from where I'd hide
Showed me there was more inside
Because you believed when I could
not I became the person I
forgot You always tell me I'm
enough
Now I'm starting to believe your
love
You found me walking in the
abyss
Where hope was just a word
I'd missed
One hello became a light
That slowly chased away the night
From quiet streams to endless days
You helped me find a better
way
You'll probably never see yourself the
way
I do
But Bear, you saved me
just by being you
You say I don't give myself
enough credit
Maybe you're right,
I'm finally getting it But here's
the truth I've got to say
Before another day slips away
You've changed more lives than you'll
ever know
Planting seeds you'll never watch grow
If only you could see yourself
through my eyes You'd understand why
so many smiles survive
You found me walking in the
abyss
Now every sunrise feels like this
A friend became my family A
place where I could finally breathe
No matter where this life may
lead You'll always be a part
of me
Forever grateful,
forever proud
My best friend,
my Bear
