lyrics

WHEN YOU’RE DISTRESSED

When you’re distressed
I too am distressed
When you are cut I am bleeding
When you are lonely
You’re never forgotten
I know just how you are feeling

Spring doesn’t come
‘Til winter has gone
Then new life can start once again
Just like the rainbow will follow the rain
My glory will follow your pain

So, through adversity
You will come to see
Your deep need of me
So, though a rope looks strong
You won’t know how strong
‘Til you’re clinging to it

It’s through the hard times
Not so much the good times
That we’ve grown much closer together
When you cannot find me
There’s one place that I’ll be
With you at the end of your tether

I am a prisoner
Of my loving nature
My child, I will never forsake you
Wherever you run to
My love will confront you
A welcome will always await you

So, when the nights are long
When you have no one
To depend upon
Know I helped you before
I can help once more
That’s what I am here for

When times are hardest
And night’s at its darkest
Then my stars can shine even brighter
Only in combat
Will you ever find that
I’ve put deep within you a fighter

In your despair
I always was there
To lead you through trial and sorrow
Those days are fading
New frontiers are waiting
Ahead lies a brand new tomorrow

So, in the coming years
When there’s times of tears
Stand and face your fears
Know though the wild winds blow
I won’t let you go
My love’s never fading
