I Will Be Here

From within every warning
Some distant calling to make things right
Heal some of the pain inside
Help you survive

With every betrayal
The weak would turn tale and run for their lives
Leaving their best behind
And finding some God with which they can align themselves with

But your wise to their ways
And your numb to the pain that they try to inflict on you
The hands that you thought would pull you through
Will not drag you down

When the answers you seek
Are so far our of reach
And the slopes are too steep
And the outlook is bleak

I'll be here
I'll be right here
I will be here for as long as you need

From within every warning
Some distant calling to make things right
Heal some the pain inside
Keep you alive

Come sisters, come lovers, come mothers, come brothers
Their bitterness lies
To save their sorry selfish hides
Just leave that behind

Its time to move on
To write a new song of ultimate destiny
Man made as that might be
Its time to be free

For your sons first gasped breath
Spreads a love that's bereft of such cynical, wasted time
A love that will guide you through this life
A love that just shines

When the darkness surrounds
And no light can be found
And the quietest voice
Makes a deafening sound

I'll be here
I'll be right here
I will be here for as long as you need

When the answers you seek
Are so far out of reach
And the slopes are too steep
And the outlook is bleak

I'll be here
I'll be right here
I will be here for as long as you need
