If this world should break you, I'll pick your pieces up

Wherever the road takes you, I'll be there in the dust

The stars fade to nothing, your dreams start to rust

Girl, I pray it doesn't, I pray it doesn't

But when it does, and you feel like heaven's falling

When it does, you don't know who to trust

I can't stop your river rising

Or promise you the water won't get rough

But I'll be right here beside you when it does

I know what it's like to cry out when all you got is prayer

And all you hear is silence, makes you wonder if God was ever there

And I can feel your faith disappear into the air

Child, I hope it doesn't, I pray it doesn't

But when it does, and you feel like heaven's falling

When it does, and you don't know who to trust

I can't stop your river rising

Or promise you the water won't get rough

But I'll be right here beside you when it does

Ain't no wrong we can't right

No fight we can't fight

The truth is, child, trouble's gonna come

And when it does, and you feel like heaven's falling

And when it does, and you don't know who to trust

And I can't stop your river rising

Or promise you the water won't get rough

I wish I could stop the world from beating you up

But I'll be right here beside you when it does
