The One

I'll be the one
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
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
To hold you
And make sure that you'll be allright
'Cause my fear is gone
And I want to
Take you from darkness to light
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
To hold you
And make sure that you'll be allright
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
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
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
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 to make it all right
I'll be the one to hold you
And make sure that you'll be alright
I'll be the one
