STUMBLING THROUGH THE DARK

 

STUMBLING THROUGH THE DARK

When you’re feeling overwhelmed and you think you’ve lost your spark.

You’re blinded by your tears and you’re stumbling through the dark.

Don’t know which way is up or which direction you should turn.

And the ache that has consumed you has now become an endless burn.

Whatever situation. However big. However small.

I’d run a million miles. I’ll always catch you when you fall.

Nothing else will matter. I don’t care what is at stake.

I will always be there. When you’re whole or when you break.

You are that important. And by your side I’ll always stand.

I’d cover any distance. I’m reaching out a steady hand.

I’ll find you in the darkness. I’ll never leave, I hope you know.

I’ll pull you into sunlight. Away from where the shadows grow.

No matter what the challenge. Through the good days and the bad.

Through the laughter and the struggles. Through all the tears when you are sad.

I stand with open arms. Fall into me each time you break.

I’ll always hold you up. I’ll calm you down. I’ll stop the shake.

I’ll be your raft upon the river. Your lily pad upon the pond.

The strength when you feel weakness. We heal each other through our bond.

So each and every time, you start to stumble in the dark.

Remember I’m the flame, and I will always light your spark.
