When darkness falls upon your heart and soul. 
I'll be the light that shines for you. 
When you forget how beautiful you are 
I'll be there to remind you. 
When you can't find your way, 
I'll find my way to you. 
When troubles come around, 
I will come to you. 

I'll be your shoulder when you need someone to lean on. 
Be your shelter. 
When you need someone to see you through. 
I'll be there to carry you. 
I'll be there. 
I'll be the rock that will be strong for you. 
The one that will hold on to you. 
When you feel that rain falling down. 
When there's nobody else around. 
I'll be. 

And when you're there with no one there to hold. 
I'll be the arms that reach for you. 
And when you feel your faith is running low. 
I'll be there to believe in you.
When all you find are lies. 
I'll be the truth you need. 
When you need someone to run to. 
You can run to me 

I'll be your shoulder when you need someone to lean on. 
Be your shelter. 
When you need someone to see you through. 
I'll be there to carry you. 
I'll be there. 
I'll be the rock that will be strong for you. 
The one that will hold on to you. 
When you feel that rain falling down. 
When there's nobody else around. 
I'll be. 

I'll be the sun. 
When your heart's filled with rain. 
I'll be the one. 
To chase the rain away. 

I'll be your shoulder when you need someone to lean on. 
Be your shelter. 
When you need someone to see you through. 
I'll be there to carry you. 
I'll be there. 
I'll be the rock that will be strong for you. 
The one that will hold on to you. 
When you feel that rain falling down. 
When there's nobody else around.
I'll be. 
I'll be.
