Blindsided by a twist of fate
A helpless irony
You find yourself a prisoner
With no way to break free
Searching for some answers
Pleading for relief
Reaching out into the void
To find a place of peace
Though it all feels so uncertain
So much you can't control
You'll never lose that core of you
Your rare and untouched soul
I can't explain how this all works
Or what force makes the call
Why harder paths are laid out for the
Most beautiful of all
But this much I will swear to you
You'll never be alone
No matter where this journey leads or
How far you have to roam
And when it pulls you down to
Those far places in your mind
I'll be right here and hold you close
Until you finally find
The way back to you
I'll take your heavy burdens
When all your strength is gone
And when your voice is silenced
I can still hear your sweet song
If you can't see the light of day,
When your visions make you cry
I'll never leave you wandering
Just let me be your eyes
I can't explain how this all works
Or what force makes the call
Why harder paths are laid out for the
Most beautiful of all
But this much I will swear to you
You'll never be alone
No matter where this journey leads or
How far you have to roam
And when it pulls you down to those
Far places in your mind
I'll be right here and hold you close
Until you finally find
The way back to you
When you're drowning in the pain and fear
Lost in a stormy sea
When it all becomes too much to bear
Then you can rage at me
When the dark is closing in and you are
Just too tired to fight
I'll be the guard that watches there
Each second of each night
I swear it, oh I swear to you
You'll never be alone
If we have to crawl ten million miles
Before we make it home
Even if it takes a lifetime
If it's all we ever do
It's enough for me
It's all I ask
Just to stay with you
And even when you're pulled to
Those deep places in your mind
I'll be right here and hold you close
Until you finally find
The way back to you
