Words

if only I could lighten up your darkness

illuminate the shadows in your life

maybe help relieve a bit of anguish

add some color to your black and white

provide some shelter from the storm

or build a fire to keep you warm

 

if I could help you keep away the demons

chase away the wolves from your front door

help you navigate through troubled waters

encourage you to plot a steady course

take some of the noise away

or just listen to what you have to say

 

I tell you things will be okay

but I have no way of knowing

and sometimes all I have are words

but maybe that’s all you need to hear

and maybe that’s enough,

enough to give you hope
