THE LAST ONE I SING TO - ORIGINAL SONG

The Irishman's Anthem

Verse 1

I want you to be

the first face I turn to

The arms I return to

each morning I wake

I want to be

the heart that you rescue

The soul you hold onto

for now and always

I want to be

the person you turn to

the witness who stands true

In trials that we face

I want you to be

the last one I sing to

The heart that I cling to

In my final days

Chorus

So hold me close through the winds and the weight

Move with me, don’t let time erase

If this is the song I was meant to play

Then let every note echo your name

So hold me close when the silence is loud

When the weight of the world starts pulling us down

If this is the song I was born to play

Let every note carry your name

If this is the song I was born to play

let every note carry your name

Verse 2

I want you to be

The shelter I run to

The home I belong to

My safe place to stay

I want to be

the sky that won't leave you

the light that will find you

come wind or come rain

I want to be

the woman beside you

The hand that helps guide you

on your hardest days

I want you to be

the song that still finds me

the sound that defines me

when my voice fades away

Bridge

I’ve been quiet, I’ve been loud

Stood alone inside the crowd

But in your light, I’ve found my way

A place to land, a reason to stay

I’ve been silent, I’ve been proud

Tried to fly and hit the ground

But in your light, I’ve found my way

A place to land, a reason to stay

Chorus

So hold me close through the winds and the weight

Move with me, don’t let time erase

If this is the song I was meant to play

Then let every note echo your name

So hold me close when the silence is loud

When the weight of the world starts pulling us down

If this is the song I was born to play

Let every note carry your name

If this is the song I was born to play

let every note carry your name

Outro

I want you to be

the last one I sing to

The heart that I cling to

In my final days
