I've seen it and felt it
Hopelessness with no lifeline
The wicked are feeding on
Innocence and our decline

You and I we are the same
Torn apart by different things
All our faith is barely alive
But we're going to make it through the night
I want you to know

When the world is on your back
And you think that you will never last
When you're lonely and you are confused
I'll be right beside you
When the walls are closing in
And you think you'd rather sink or swim
When you think there's nothing left to lose
I'll be right beside you
I'll be with you

We are precious
More than priceless is our worth
Loved by the Father
Heaven's children here on earth
You and I we are the same
Lifted up above the pain
By its wounds we have been healed
And by our love it is revealed
I want you to know (I need you to know)

When the world is on your back
And you think that you will never last
When you're lonely and you are confused
I'll be right beside you
When the walls are closing in
And you think you'd rather sink or swim
When there's nothing left to lose
I'll be right beside you

Hold on, don't you let go of me
I'll be here through it all
Hold on, when you're ready to fall
I will carry you
I will never leave you
I will lift you if you fall

When the world is on your back
And you think that you will never last
When you're lonely and you are confused
I'll be right beside you
When the walls are closing in
And you think you'd rather sink or swim
When there's nothing left to lose
I'll be right beside you
I'll be with you
I'll be right beside you
