Sometimes the journey makes you weary
Feels like a long and winding road
Sometimes this life can loose its meaning
But you might be surprised to find some hope
Maybe you're wondering where love is
You may feel it's far away from here
Maybe you're wondering where I am
You might be surprised to find I'm near
And when your life is tossed and turning
And you are on the raging sea
I'll come and pull you from the water
Then you will know that you are free
So if you're stumbling through the valley
Or if you're tempted to give up the fight
Reach out your hand and i will lead you
I will be your strong arm in the night
