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
