YOU WERE THERE

When I needed a lesson in my life
Whenever I was scared on a stormy night
Whenever I succeeded
and all the times I failed
You were there

I remember crying in your arms
Hearing your encouragement and care
Memories of days spent walking on the beach
You were there

You were there
up before the sun, like a chosen one
You were there
It was meant to be
And every time I turned to see
You were there for me

Straying from your path
from time to time
Searching for my reason and my rhyme
Don't know if I told
Everything I meant to say
