You told me you were leaving, needed time to get away
A little time to breathe and a little time to think
The world's been hard, it's brought you down, cast
Shadows on your wall
And I wish that I could give you wings and never let you
Fall

[CHORUS:]
I'd give you peace, I'd give you joy
I'd give you strength when hope is nowhere in sight
The night is long, the journey cold, but keep holding on
You'll rise above

So many times I've seen that smile upon your loving face
How can a soul so beautiful be free in such a place?
Because the world's been hard, it's brought you down,
Cast shadows on your wall
And I wish that I could give you wings and never let you
Fall

[CHORUS]
