Teenage Symphony to God

All I wanna do
Is always bring good to you
To give you all the love I can
And help you in whatever you do

Sure as the sun will come around again to start off another day
You can be sure that in my heart and soul I'll love you in every way

Thanks to aloha for posting this boss video.
