Talking makes us human that's what I was toldSo why do I find it so difficult to let my feelings unfoldHad I the courage to tell you I'd promise you thisIf that's what you needI'll be the river I'll be the mountain always beside youIf that's what you needI will be stronger I will be braver than ever beforeWhen you came along and turned it all aroundI promised myself I wouldn't tell youUntil we stood on solid groundHolding the candle between us I'll tell you thisIf that's what you needI'll be the river I'll be the mountain always beside youIf that's what you needI will be stronger I will be braver than ever beforeAnd if there's any kind of dangerI hear you calling out my nameYou can follow in my footstepsAnd I will lead you safely back againI never understood you however hard I triedBut it took me a while until I realisedThat all of the problems were mineHolding you nearer to me to tell you thisIf that's what you needI'll be the river I'll be the mountain always beside youIf that's what you needI will be stronger I will be braver than ever beforeAnd when things go wrongI'll be your conscience there to remind you all of your lifeWhen you go wrongI'll be the reason you'll be protected all of your days
