I'm Always Right Here

I'm always within striking distance, so... Reach out to me, if you find that Hope has lost its way in the desert And died of thirst. If you find that You have trouble finding your way Out of the dark; I'll be your beacon of light I'm always right here, so never despair I promise I'll never be a stranger I'm always right here, so never fear The gateway to my heart is always ajar, for you I'll be your guide, your deus ex machina Come find me, whenever you need encouragement Whenever you need a shoulder to lean on Whenever you need someone to confide in Whenever you feel crestfallen and need comfort Whenever it seems that all is irretrievably lost Run to me, should the strangehold of loneliness Threaten to asphyxiate you. Should you need someone To dry your tears. Should misfortune strait-jacket you Trapping your wings, and you can't leap Into the wind and take flight. I'll take you under mine Put your faith in me, should the hallway to Your private heaven become a trapped space Just know that I'll be around to clear the path for you Should you need someone to help you journey through life I'll be by your side, and I'll stay as long as you want me to I'm always right here, so never despair I promise I'll never be a stranger I'm always right here, so never fear The gateway to my heart is always ajar, for you I'll be your guide, your deus ex machina Submitted for...
