Verse 1 with main riff
you were full and fully capable
you were self sufficient and needless
your house was fully decorated in that sense
(guitar came in)
you were taken with me to a point
a case of careful what you wish for
but what you knew was enough to begin
and so you called and courted fiercely
so you reached out entirely fearless
and yet you knew of reservations and how it serves
Chorus 1
and I saGlute you for your couArage
and I apGplaud your persevAerance
and I emGbrace you for your faAith
in the face of aGdversarial forAces that I represent

Verse 2
so you were in but not entirely
you were up for this but not totally
you knew how arms length-ing can maintain doubt
and so you fell and you're intact
so you dove in and you're still breathing
so you jumped and you're still flying if not shocked
Chorus 2
and I suGpport you in your truAsting
and I coGmmend you for your wiAsdom
and I'm aGmazed by your surreAnder
in the face Gof threatening forAces that I represent

Verse 3
you found creative ways to distance
you hid away from much through humor
your choice of armor was your intellect
and so you felt and you're still here
and so you died and you're still standing
and so you softened and still safety in command
Chorus 3
and I saGlute you for your couArage
and I apGplaud your persevAerance
and I emGbrace you for your faAith
