I found you where the noise turned quiet Under a sky that knew my name You looked at me like old red sunrise And set my restless heart aflame Every promise I had buried Rose like thunder through the night I had been a storm in circles Till you held me in your light Now the world can shake and splinter Now the dark can come and call I am not afraid of distance When your love is standing tall You are the fire in my winter The hymn that pulls me through the fall If heaven ever needs a witness I will say your name through all And if the stars forget to guide us I will carry you home 'Cause in this life, and after this life I was never meant to walk alone I have loved you through the shadows Through the silence between words Through the years that tried to harden Every vow we never heard You are midnight with a heartbeat You are mercy dressed in gold When my hands grow tired and trembling You still make me feel bold Let the rivers rise around us Let the walls come down in rain What we built was not a moment It was fire made to remain You are the fire in my winter The hymn that pulls me through the fall If heaven ever needs a witness I will say your name through all And if the stars forget to guide us I will carry you home 'Cause in this life, and after this life I was never meant to walk alone So take my hand through every ending Through the echo and the storm I have loved you past the breaking And I will love you past the dawn When the last light leaves the valley And the sea meets empty shore You will find me still beside you Like I have been forevermore You are the fire in my winter The hymn that pulls me through the fall If the heavens start to tremble I will still stand through it all And if the stars forget to guide us I will carry you home 'Cause in this life, and after this life I was never meant to walk alone I was never meant to walk alone I was never meant to walk alone
