I'll Be There

[Lyrics & Music by: Atkins / Hammer]

Nothing is simple
There's no perfect cure
Don't take for granted
What some take for sure
There are no heroes
And even no wonderland
This is for real babe
It's no farytale
Sometimes to easy to go off the rails
I'll give you comfort when you're feeling cold
One you can run to when there's no hands to hold

I'll be there when it's closing in
I'll be there try to keep you from falling
Take you into my temple of dreams
Now and then when it seems
That there's not enough love to go round

This is our world
This is insane
Life passing by
Just like a runaway train
Now we're just traveling
On a ship of fools
These are the times
Days of no trust
Love turns to hatred and diamonds to dust
I'll be a shelter be your company
Whenever you're lonely you can lean on me

I'll be there when it's closing in
I'll be there try to keep you from falling
Take you into my temple of dreams
Now and then when it seems
That there's not enough love to go round
