It takes a special kind of soul to follow me here Yet we both stand together without a fear I know that my pain is blacker than night So meeting me here is like walking without sight Only the brave will make it out alive to tell Only the strong can find their way out of hell There are places in our mind that can kill Where loneliness and fear is all we'll feel I had been lost for an eternity before you I was at the end of my road, I was through Hope gone, I entertained ideas of death Heavy with shame I could barely take a breath Then suddenly I felt a presence of love so clear I knew somehow that you were standing near I was no longer alone ;the weight was gone The night faded away; making room for dawn There are few like you; ones who are true Ones that will come in the dark to find you I don't know how I got to a place of such hate But I was convinced that it was my fate I had long forgotten that truth lived inside I can't even remember the last time I tried You saved me when the world had me dead I will never forget you or the things you said You restored my strength; I can finally fight You renewed my belief in what is right The hope I lost has returned inside me Laughter fills the air and its truth i see I owe you my life, I can never repay I can only hope that you forever stay.
