Lyrics of A song for nico

They told me you wouldn't make it
They didn't know who you were that day
Dragged you out in the open
Tiny bones and a fragile frame

From the moment we knew you
Reduced us to tears
First time i held you
The bitter and sweet my dear

And i promise to be a shelter to you my dear
I promise to always protect you

Caught a look in your eye like
You knew the game had changed
All the courage inside you
Victorious that day

And we promise to be a shelter to you always
Yes we promise to always protect you
