dark and lonely woods, and when I ask how was your day

When the skies up above you fill,

And there's not a single face you know,

         Am               G       

in the maddening crowd.

When you know that you don't make your way

And you've looked in all directions but you

still can't find your way.

When you’re staring down your demons

waiting in your darkest night

Am     G           C           

I will shine the light

Sometimes we jump into the great unknown.

Sorrows we all will have to walk alone.

Am                            F           C                                F

Waiting there in the end, is a heart that calls you a friend.

That's me, clapping the loudest, welcoming you home.

So when your heart is heavy, like a stone,

                             G   

from carrying its load,

               C                  F                              Am                  G   

and you look into the mirror and see someone you don't know

                  C                             Dm                     Am                       F

When the shadows are closing in on you like a hand around your throat,

when you've lost your will to fight,

let me know what I can do,
