Talking makes us human that's what I was told
So why do I find it so difficult to let my feelings unfold
Had I the courage to tell you I'd promise you this
I'll be the river I'll be the mountain always beside you
I will be stronger I will be braver than ever before
When you came along and turned it all around
I promised myself I wouldn't tell you
Until we stood on solid ground
Holding the candle between us I'll tell you this
I'll be the river I'll be the mountain always beside you
I will be stronger I will be braver than ever before
And if there's any kind of danger
I hear you calling out my name
You can follow in my footsteps
And I will lead you safely back again
I never understood you however hard I tried
But it took me a while until I realised
That all the problems were mine
Holding you nearer to me to tell you this
I'll be the river I'll be the mountain always beside you
I will be stronger I will be braver than ever before
I'll be your conscience there to remind you all of your life
I'll be the reason you'll be protected all of your days
