UNKNOWN

when troubled times
are all that I can see
help me raise my voice
as an instrument of peace
and could you be my strength
and lead me home
when I'm too tired
and I can't stand alone

and may I walk
beside you as a friend
keep your heart true
till the end of an endless end
and if the night is dark
and there's no going home
just close your eyes
and know you're not alone

when it seems this world
is but a dream we can't shake
I will hold you near
till the dawn appears

and in that steady grace
no prayer ever goes to waste
they all reach someone
when all's said and done

so in the winter
when it's cold as death
may we stand together
until we come to rest
and in the open arms
of heart and home
I'll walk with you
into the great unknown
so close your eyes
and know you're not alone
