I Walk Beside You

There's a story in your eyes

I can see the hurt behind your smile

For every sign I recognize

Another one escapes me

Let me know what plagues your mind

Let me be the one to know you best

Be the one to hold you up

When you feel like you're sinking

Tell me once again

What's beneath the pain you're feeling

Don't abandon me

Or think you can't be saved

I walk beside you

Wherever you are

Whatever it takes

No matter how far

Through all that may come

And all that may go

I walk beside you

I walk beside you

Summon up your ghosts from me

Rest your tired thoughts upon my hands

Step inside this sacred place

When all your dreams seem broken

Resonate inside this temple

Let me be the one who understands

Be the one to carry you

When you can walk no further

Tell me once again

What's below the surface bleeding

If you've lost your way

I will take you in

I walk beside you

Wherever you are

Whatever it takes

No matter how far

Through all that may come

And all that may go

I walk beside you

I walk beside you

Oh, when everything is wrong

Oh, when hopelessness surrounds you

Oh, the sun will rise again

The tide you swim against will carry you back home

So don't give up

Don't give in

I walk beside you

Wherever you are

Whatever it takes

No matter how far

Through all that may come

And all that may go

I walk beside you

I walk beside you
