Your simple dreams,
Your careful steps
You've never missed
A thing I said
The thunder cracks
And you shake with fear
Who will hold you
If you're not here
From the city's roar
To the river towns
There will always be someone
To put you down
And that they will,
Make no mistake
Throw all their shattered dreams
Right up in your face
I might find it hard to say
But you're gonna make it through this world ok
You're gonna make it through this world
In my arms
You took your rest
Would lay your head
Upon my chest
Your gentle hands,
Your silky skin
Your liquid eyes
They'd just drink me in
I tried to keep
Ahead of you
I cleared a path
But obscured the view
Now you've packed your bags
And your fragile heart
And it looks like I'm the one
Who just might fall apart
I might find it hard to say
But you're gonna make it through this world ok
You're gonna make it through this world
Your soul and wisdom
Defy your age
Are you sure you're ready
To turn the page
I might find it hard to say
But you're gonna make it through this world ok
You're gonna make it through this world
You're gonna make it through this world
You're gonna make it through this world ok
