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 for 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
