Here Always

I stopped by today to tell you That you were never alone I wanted you to hear this So no one else could lead you wrong All those nights you lie awake Believe me I was there I was the fly upon the wall The gentle breeze brushing through your hair I was the silence that you prayed to The darkness that hid your fears I was the blanket that kept you warm The gentle hand that wiped your tears I was the pillow that gave you comfort When the night felt so alone I was the angel there who kept you safe The protector of your home I was the familiar sounds of night The ones you grew to know I was the stars that shined so bright each night Inside your bedroom window I was the mighty oak that stood close by My roots could not be breached I was the kiss of love you felt each night Before you went to sleep I was the shoulder there for you to lean When things seemed out of hand I was the forceful sound of your inner voice Screaming out YES you can I was the dream that gave you courage To fight another day I was the voice of reason that held you And encouraged you to stay I was the thought that made you smile While everyone would stare I was the wonder that made them wonder Why you were smiling there I was the past that you once lived The future that's yet to come I am the here and now that knows no bounds The love in which I'm from And through life I will remain A simple breathe away No need to ever look for me I’m here always to stay
