I Wish It Were This...

When I look into the darkness
All of the colors can be found
When I look into the darkness
All is finally safe and sound

With your arm around me
Holding me so tight
With your arm around me
I can finally sleep at night

When you say "I love you"
You block out all the pain
When you say "I love you"
You are the sunshine in the rain

You protect us
My brother and me
You protect us
Give us a light to see

You take away the danger
I can finally laugh and smile
You take away the danger
My house no longer seems vile 

I love you forever
I don't have to cry all night
I love you forever
My family no longer fights
