Where did you dwell before you came?
Who were you when you had no name?
What did you feel before your time began?
In what darkness was your home?
Through what shadows did you roam?
Before the light and pain released you to me?
Brighter, darker, stronger than before
Brighter, darker, stronger than before
I'm not your parent nor your peer
For you alone I'm serving here
And I will raise you to the best of my knowing
I'll never show you how I feel
The love that's grown through all these years
You can not know my dreadful mission
Brighter, darker, stronger than before
Brighter, darker, stronger than before
