Talking makes us human that's what I was told
|
So why do I find it so difficult to let my feelings unfold
|
Had I the courage to tell you I'd promise you this
|
|
If that's what you need
|
I'll be the river I'll be the mountain always beside you
|
If that's what you need
|
I will be stronger I will be braver than ever before
|
|
When you came along and turned it all around
|
I promised myself I wouldn't tell you
|
Until we stood on solid ground
|
Holding the candle between us I'll tell you this
|
|
If that's what you need
|
I'll be the river I'll be the mountain always beside you
|
If that's what you need
|
I will be stronger I will be braver than ever before
|
|
And if there's any kind of danger
|
I hear you calling out my name
|
You can follow in my footsteps
|
And I will lead you safely back again
|
|
I never understood you however hard I tried
|
But it took me a while until I realised
|
That all the problems were mine
|
Holding you nearer to me to tell you this
|
|
If that's what you need
|
I'll be the river I'll be the mountain always beside you
|
If that's what you need
|
I will be stronger I will be braver than ever before
|
And when things go wrong
|
I'll be your conscience there to remind you all of your life
|
When you go wrong
|
I'll be the reason you'll be protected all of your days
