You're the bravest of hearts, you're the strongest of souls   You're my light in the dark, you're the place I call home   You can say it's all right, but I know that you're breaking up inside   I see it in your eyes   Even you face the night afraid and alone   That's why I'll be there      When the storm rises up, when the shadows descend   Every beat of my heart, every day without end   Every second I live, that's the promise I make   Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes   If that's what it takes      You can sleep in my arms, you don't have to explain   When your heart's crying out, baby, whisper my name   'Cause I've reached out for you when the thunder is crashing up above   You've given me your love   When your smile like the sun that shines through the pain   That's why I'll be there      When the storm rises up, when the shadows descend   Every beat of my heart, every day without end   I will stand like a rock, I will bend till I break   Till there's no more to give, if that's what it takes   I will risk everything, I will fight, I will bleed   I will lay down my life, if that's what you need   Every second I live, that's the promise I make   Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes      Through the wind and the rain, through the smoke and the fire   When the fear rises up, when the wave's ever higher   I will lay down my heart, my body, my soul   I will hold on all night and never let go   Every second I live, that's the promise I make   Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes      If that's what it takes   Every day   If that's what it takes   Every day
