I was all fire... All noise, all motion, nowhere to rest. And you walked into the flames without fear. You didn't put them out. You just stayed long enough for me to learn their warmth. I was a fire with nowhere to burn, A restless heart with nowhere to turn. Running through nights I could never outrun, Until you stood beside me and didn't run. You knew the language of shadow and flame, You saw who I was beneath all the pain. Somewhere between all the chaos and fear, You taught me that peace could still live here. You didn't take the fire from me, You helped me learn its light. And now I see the flame you're holding, Growing brighter through the night. There's a light within the darkness, There's a warmth beneath the night. I can see the flame you're carrying, Learning how to burn so bright. Take my hand and walk beside me, As the night gives way to dawn. You helped me find my fire, Now I'll help your flame burn on. I see you sitting beneath the stars, Watching the sunrise from where you are. And I can see how far you've come, How you've begun to welcome the sun. The little flame you once held carefully Doesn't look so fragile now to me. It's becoming steady, warm and bright, A part of yourself you let into the light. The stars are fading one by one, There's gold along the edge of dawn. Take my hand and walk with me, We don't need to know what waits beyond. There's a light within the darkness, There's a warmth beneath the night. I can see the flame you're carrying, Learning how to burn so bright. Take my hand and walk beside me, As the night gives way to dawn. You helped me find my fire, Now I'll help your flame burn on. And if the morning ever fades, If you lose the road somehow, You don't have to fear the falling... I'll be there beneath you now. If your flame burns low and blue, Just reach for me the way you did before, You caught me when my fire was raging, So I'll be there to catch your hand. There's a light within the darkness, And it's brighter than before. I can see it in your eyes now, I can see what you're moving toward. Take my hand and walk beside me, Let the morning meet the night. You helped me find my fire, And now your light grows next to mine. You don't have to leave the darkness behind... Just let the light be there beside it. I'll walk with you. And if you fall... I'll catch you. As many times as you need.
