Follow Me

I've come a long way
still much further to go
sometimes there isn't a reason
that I can see to keep going
when I think it's too much
and am ready to quit
I hear your voice in the midst of it

saying: 
I'll show you the path
I'll show you the light
I'll be here if you need me
I am right by your side
you are half-way there
don't stop now
follow me, follow me

the path I was on was crooked and wrong
each corner I turned wasn't where I belonged
hell bent on destruction, hurting those close
then thunder was crashing--saw lightning flashes
and I heard a voice in the midst of it

saying: 
I'll show you the path
I'll show you the light
I'll be here if you need me
I am right by your side
you are half-way there
don't stop now
follow me, follow me
