Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'll be the one

[Verse 2]

I guess you were lost when I met you

Still there were tears in your eyes

So out of trust and I knew

No more than mysteries and lies

[PreChorus]

There you are, wild and free

Reaching out like you needed me

A helping hand to make it right

I am holding you all through the night

I'll be the one (I'll be the one)

Who will make all your sorrows undone

I'll be the light (I'll be the light)

When you feel like there's nowhere to run

I'll be the one

[Verse 3]

To hold you

And make sure that you'll be alright

'Cause my fear is gone

And I want to take you from darkness to light

[PreChorus]

There you are, wild and free

Reaching out like you needed me

A helping hand to make it right

I am holding you all through the night

[Chorus]

I'll be the one (I'll be the one)

Who will make all your sorrows undone

I'll be the light (I'll be the light)

When you feel like there's nowhere to run

I'll be the one

To hold you

And make sure that you'll be alright

[Bridge]

You need me like I need you

We can share our dreams coming true

I can show you what true love means

Just take my hand, baby, please

[Chorus]

I'll be the one, I'll be the light

Where you can run to make it alright

I'll be the one, I'll be the light

Where you can run

[Chorus]

I'll be the one, I'll be the one (I'll be the one)

Who will make all your sorrows undone

I'll be the light, I'll be the light (I'll be the light)

When you feel like there's nowhere to run

I'll be the one

[Chorus]

I'll be the one, I'll be the light

Where you can run to make it alright (I'll be the light)

I'll be the one, I'll be the light

I'll be the light

Where you can run to make it alright

I'll be the one

To hold you

And make sure that you'll be alright

I'll be the one
