How I wish that I could tell you

It's to you that I would run

You were the place that I could always rest my head

When my world had come undone

'Cause I've been wrestling with my demons

They're telling me I have no choice

How I wish that I could lean upon you now

Amidst the chaos and the noise

Your light buried the dark

A constant unwavering heart

You were the well to cool my fury

Deep and calm your waters feel

Your quiet words a salve to soothe my wayward soul

It was there I learned to heal

Your light buried the dark

A constant unwavering heart

Oh I hope that you can hear me

Through the ravages of time

You have carried me though more than you could know

I still feel your hand in mine

Your light buried the dark

A constant unwavering heart
