Your simple dreams,

your careful steps

You've never missed

a thing I said

The thunder cracks

and you shake with fear

Who will hold you

if you're not here

From the city's roar

to the river towns

There will always be someone

to put you down

And that they will,

make no mistake

Throw all their shattered dreams

Right up in your face



refrain:

I might find it hard to say

But you're gonna make it through this world ok

You're gonna make it through this world



In my arms

you took your rest

Would lay your head

upon my chest

Your gentle hands,

your silky skin

Your liquid eyes

they'd just drink me in

I tried to keep

ahead of you

I cleared a path

but obscured the view

Now you've packed your bags

and your fragile heart

And it looks like I'm the one

who just might fall apart



refrain



Your soul and wisdom

defy your age

Are you sure you're ready

to turn the page



I might find it hard to say

But you're gonna make it through this world ok

You're gonna make it through this world

You're gonna make it through this world

You're gonna make it through this world ok
