You Were There

You were there when I laid so sad
My face on the floor...
You were there.
When I didn't understand
My heart in a war...

You watched me fall
You lifted me up
You held me in your hands
I was troubled way beyond...
But I kept strong.
And you were there.

You were there the first time
I argued with my mind...
You were there.
When I lied to myself;
The soldier I was- it's ok...

You watched me fight
And tended my wound
You let my tears run,
Something I'd never done...
And I was changed.
And I was changed.

Because you were there.
