Still Holding My Hand

I was sure that I would never escape The story I had written for me I couldn't find a way out I couldn't see beyond the clouds That swirled around me Then one day I opened my eyes And looked up to find that the sky Had turned blindingly blue And right by my side there was you Quietly taking your stand And you were holding my hand I believed that I (I believed) Would never be able to rely (that I would never find) On anybody else (anybody else) And I was sure that I (I was) Would just have to learn to survive (sure that I would always) All by myself (be all by myself) And one day I opened my eyes (one day I opened my eyes) And looked up to find that the sky Had turned blindingly blue And right by my side there was you Quietly taking a stand And you were holding my hand You were holding my hand! You were just there for me Quietly taking a stand Changing the end of my story for me You were there as I battled my fears I fell and you helped me to stand When the storm finally cleared You were there You were still holding my hand You were still holding my hand You kicked down the doors for me (kicked down the doors for me) You helped me understand (you helped me understand) There was another version of me You were still holding my hand (when I grow up) You were just there for me (I will be braver) Quietly taking a stand (after all) Changing the end of my story for me You were still holding my hand You were just there for me Quietly taking a stand Changing the end of my story for me You were still holding my hand
