There'll come a time when love outlasts my insecurities
And I'll be unafraid that you're not here with me
I hold on and I face another day
I hold on urgently to you, to you
I let go and my fears begin to fade
And now with pride we watch you make your way
Clouds overhead, lightning strikes and the thunder roars
And I can only hope I've given you some shelter
You know it's a stormful world and rain will fall on you
Run faster now don't look back ‘till you're far away
The hands that harm will try to drag you into shadow
You know it's a sunless world and darkness falls on you
It's getting close to midnight
And soon you'll have to leave
The haven of our comforting arms
I can feel you searching in the darkness (searching in the darkness!)
And I hear you calling out my name (calling out my name!)
Search yourself for the part of me still with you
My presence there will never fade
Walls tumble down you can hide but you know they'll find you
And I can't be there every moment for protection
You know it's a hostile world and hate may follow you
It's getting close to midnight
And soon you'll have to leave
The haven of our comforting arms
I can feel you searching in the darkness (searching in the darkness!)
And I hear you calling out my name (calling out my name!)
Search yourself for the part of me still with you
My presence there will never fade
Outcomes can never be certain
But life is a chance that you take
And all that I can do is help you brace for it
Light overhead storm clouds part and the darkness fades
And in the stillness of a new dawn you're still standing
I know it's a frightening world and it's a confusing world
But you know that I have to believe you will find the goodness in it
With your heart and soul as compass
I will pray you find your way
And that happiness will follow close behind
And peace will fall on you
And peace will fall on you
And peace will fall on you
