You Were There
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I can't believe that through everything you stood by me
I fell away but you grabbed my hand and led the way
And all this time my heart was locked but you had the key
And all my life I was in the dark but you made me see
The light shines through the night
Through the endless rain
And through the darkest nights
You were there, I know you were there with me
And down every road
When I felt so alone
You were there, you were there with me
I cling to the words you spoke to me, you breathed in me
I never felt a love so strong that runs so deep
And all this time I heard you calling out my name through the storm
And all my life I've been running away but I can't run anymore
So I fall into your arms
Through the endless rain
And through the darkest nights
You were there, I know you were there with me
And down every road
When I felt so alone
You were there, you were there with me
And though my soul may grow weary and tired
I find my strength as I step through the fire
Through the endless rain
And through the darkest nights
You were there, I know you were there with me
And down every road
When I felt so alone
You were there, you were there with me
