lyrics
"I Will"
When the road becomes too long
And you start to feel alone
You wonder why you've gone
And there ain't no way to go home
Then suddenly a ray
A glimmer from inside
You remember why you came
You remember all your pride
It's a smile from a stranger
It's a present from a child
It's a letter from an old friend
Or a moment in the wild
I will stand up, and
I will be strong, and
I will give my life
To know I'm loved
I'll give my soul, and
I'll give my song, and
I'll give everything
To share this love
Humbled on the ground
What else can be done?
Remember you are found
And pass the feeling on
I will stand up, and
I will be strong, and
I will give my life
To know I'm loved
I'll give my soul, and
I'll give my song, and
I'll give everything
To share this love
I'll trust the path, and
I'll trust my friends, and
I will trust in the one thing
That never will end
I'll fill my heart, and
I'll light your way, and
All our voices will shine
With the words that we say
Confess, confess your darknesses
Let them wash away
Carried by the wind and rain
Now we're free to say
I will stand up, and
I will be strong, and
I will give my life
To know I'm loved
I'll give my soul, and
I'll give my song, and
I'll give everything
To share this love
I'll trust the path, and
I'll trust my friends, and
I will trust in the one thing
That never will end
I'll fill my heart, and
I'll light your way, and
All our voices will shine
With the words that we say
