I'll stand by you

Every step you take in your journey thro life.
Whatever route you choose to take yourself.
Whichever path you follow to reach your goal.
I will walk with you.

Whatever mood takes hold to bend your path.
However low your spirit weighs you down.
In your darkest hour when hope seems lost.
I will sigh with you.

What decisions you make to swerve your course.
When defeat looms close to stifle dreams.
And the easy way is to just let go.
I will fight with you.

Whenever tears run down a lowered cheek.
However long the night steals your sleep.
Whatever sobbing makes your shoulders heave.
I will cry with you.

When false accusers howl to condemn.
And your lip trembles in uncertain thought.
If your confidence deserts in cowardly run.
I shall stand by you.

When your frail step falters, weakens and fails.
And hope's thin thread is about to snap.
Your way is clouded with emotional debris.
I will stay with you.

But every step you climb to rise above this.
Each resolve you make to improve your life.
Every surging will to lift yourself up.
I will sing with you.

And when you turn to see who I am.
Every smile you give as I steady you.
Will show at last who I really am.
For I am, in truth, the inner you.
