VERSE ONE
You fight this fight alone,
Unnoticed in the storm
Of uncertainty,
It’s hard to control
The feeling from within,
Your artificial skin
And you wonder why
You are here alone.
CHOROUS ONE
But tonight, I’m here
Tonight, I’m near…
Right by your side
For one brief moment.
And when you’re on your own
And you find yourself alone
Remember when,
Remember then,
I was here.
VERSE TWO
The world can be so harsh,
Cold and so uncaring…
Living life itself
Becomes demanding.
Waking from a dream
Seems like such a simple thing,
Until you try,
That’s when you start to cry.
CHOROUS TWO
But tonight, I’m here,
So dry your tears
I’m near you by your side
For one brief moment.
And when you’re on your own
And you find yourself alone
Remember when,
Remember then,
I was here.
BRIDGE
Don’t run away
From what you have believed in,
Don’t ever betray
Everything you are.
Don’t be led astray
Just close your eyes and pray,
And I’ll come back to you.
FINAL CHOROUS
So tonight, I’ll be here
To wipe away your tears.
Don’t fear, I’m here beside you
For a moment.
When the lights have all gone out,
Don’t you ever doubt
That I was ever here,
‘Cause I was always near.
Wipe away your tears,
Don’t be afraid.
And when you’re on your own
And you find yourself alone
Remember when,
Remember then…
Remember all the times I brought you back…
I was here.
I was near…
I was here.

Outstanding
This lyric is full of emotion. I thought it would make a brilliant song. This is both sophisticated and artistic with lots of emotion. Excellent to read.

saaweet!
these lyrics were completely, consumately, AWESOME!!! they are so nice, and are nice to see after a few of your last ones... really beautiful, and I know they would make an awesome song...it was twice as good knowing that you actually got music to them! that is so cool!!! great job!
-
I'm gonna be nit-picky and say I didn't like the last two lines of verse two. but, I liked the rest of the song, so I guess that outweighs those two lines. I like your songs. They are so beautiful.

this is the most awesomest thing ever! .. i was captivated.. dont even know what to say.. this was so powerful..
and the repition was awesome.. a lot of times when i read lyrics i think that people could do with about 4 less sets of choruses... lol.. but this one was gripping at every word...
