you don't have to embrace your fears

Or feel insecure my dear

I'm standing in the midst of it all

Let me be the pillar you lean on

Don't run from what you feel

see deep down that I am real

If I can calm your aching heart

please let me in as you fall apart

Pound my chest if need be

reveal your hurt and pain to me

I won't judge baby please trust me

Its a promise I will always keep

Don't run from what you feel

see deep down that I am real

If I can calm your aching heart

please let me in as you fall apart

Ill shower you with my peace

Ask him to stitch the seams

so that when you are made whole

you'd see his promise is all I know

Don't run from what you feel

see deep down that I am real

If I can calm your aching heart

please let me in as you fall apart

As you begin to smile again

shout to the world why that is

Your everything was standing near

protecting you from all your fears
