[English]

A different kind of love

Nothing that's quite as tough

No war or storm or fuss

Could ever get caught between us

You make me feel so strong

Like nothing could go wrong

When I'm so down on luck

I'm holding you, but you lift me up

You know I'll be there

Anytime you need, just tell me when

So, darling, don't you be scared

I'll fight off the monsters in your head

And then I'll wrap my arms around you, protect you from the world

I'll be moving mountains with the power of your love

I'll be there

For better and for worse, I'll always put you first

You're like the sweetest song

Our hugs forever long

I'll take you in my heart

Whatever road that I'm on

You know I'll be there

Anytime you need, just tell me when

So, darling, don't you be scared

I'll fight off the monsters in your head

And then I'll wrap my arms around you, protect you from the world

I'll be moving mountains with the power of your love

I'll be there

For better and for worse, I'll always put you first

I love you

I love you

I'll always put you first

Hello, mama

Can you say, "La-la-la"?

La-la-la-la-la

I'll always put you first
