When You're Scared

"I know that deep down it's getting dark 

You've had someone drag you in the rut 

And you've been afraid of getting out 

I know that they've kept the light off for years 

You've shed your blood and starved for their likes 

But remember I'm one that never leaves 

And I'll be there to hold your hand through it all 

Because trust me, I've never wanted you to fall 

If you seem like you're going down, I'll be there 

I know that it's going to be a long road 

I know that some days you're going to cry 

But remember the light at the end of the tunnel 

I'll be there when you're scared" 

You've been there for me since day one 

No matter if we went head to head you cared 

Because you saw right through me 

When they brought me to my limits 

You were there to reseal the vault inside 

You were there to protect me from them 

There are not enough words to thank you 

And there's not enough gratitude to thank you 

For everything that you have helped me through 

You know that it's been a long road 

You've been there on the days that I've cried 

The light at the end of the tunnel is always you 

You were always there when I was scared 

"The vault that you have let me see inside 

I'm so proud that you know you'll make it this time 

I can't express how proud I am that you smile 

Your smile makes this job so much more worthwhile 

And I just want you to know how proud I'll always be" 

The everything that you have given me 

I can't express the feeling of joy you helped me feel 

There's a lot inside that you help me see 

And you're one of the reasons I can stand on my feet 

I now have the strength to give them all of me 

You know that it's going to be a long road 

You've known that I've given so much for so little 

best believe that I carry your pride with me 

I'm so glad that I can call myself your student 

"I know that you've had a long road 

I know that all you ask for is for someone to be there 

Best believe that you can take my pride with you 

I'm so glad that I can call myself your teacher" 

You were there when the world got dark 

You were the one that had opened my heart 

You were there when I got scared
