I will help you from falling off this cliff
you've been hanging there for
days, weeks, months, years,
i'm not sure.
But now that I know,
I swear to you that I won't let go.
There are sharp, black rocks
peaking out of the raging ocean
where white foam bubbles on the wave's crest
the water makes your hands slip.
But now that I know,
I swear to you that I won't let go.
Take my hand and hold on tight
i'm bracing myself to share the weight
of the problems that make you want to fall
into those dark waters.
But now that I know,
I swear to you that I won't let go.
And it is not a waste of time
because I don't care how long it will take
days, weeks, months, years,
until you are yourself again.
Because now that I know,
I won't ever, ever let you go,
or God have mercy on my soul.
