If Your Mountains Should Crumble

If your mountains should crumble
To the world's finest sand
If your oceans should run dry
And become arid land

If the weight of the world
Becomes too much to bear
May that weight become lighter
Much lighter than air

If your path should need straightened
Should you stumble and fall
I'll help lift you up
Help you walk and not crawl

If you feel all alone
In the busiest place
And the darkness of nightfall
Should cover your face

For deep in the distance
A light you shall see
You won't be alone
For that light will be me

Forever and ever
I'd do it again 
I can't thank you enough
For being my friend
