[Verse 1]
There will be days

When it seems like the whole world is against you
Don't be afraid

[Chorus]
'Cause time slips away

[Verse 2]
There will be nights that go on forever
Like you're long lost at sea never to be found
Just know in your heart
That we're always together
And long after I'm gone
I'll still be around
'Cause our bond is eternal
And so is love
God is inside you, all around you and up above
Growing
Showing
You the way
[Chorus]
'Cause time slips away
Skies fall apart
It ain't too hard
A universal heart
Glowing
Flowing
All around you
