You're still alive inside somewhere or are you just remains?
You're the blood muscle skin and bone so people cause you pain
But when the skies are crashing down and when my days are dark and grey
When my fires are burning low when the light inside me fades
I know that I can count on you, because you never let me lie
You bring the truth back to me
You bring me back to life

I need somebody strong for when I'm feeling weak
With an open heart that can listen
For when my soul is too tired to speak

There's a place I call my home where the sun falls down on me
The light fills in the shadows there and peace of mind is free
But far below that place a tear forms in my eye
The shadows have no foe there and darkness multiplies
I know that I can count on you because you've never led me astray
You bring the truth back to me now
You always light my way

I need somebody strong for when I'm feeling weak
With an open heart that can listen
For when my soul's too tired to speak
