The sky comes crashing down
Seems everytime we spread our wings
We're chained to the ground
But it won't be long 'till these dark clouds reveal better days
I promise you
Whatever we run into
As sure as I am I'll never let go of your hand
I promise you we'll fly up in sky's of blue
Our love will pull us through I promise you
With innocence lost where do you run
To get out of the storm
Dry your tears the only shelter you need
Is right in my arms
Take a deep breath and just hold on to me believe
You belong in the sun now baby right here next to me
I promis you
Whatever we run into
As sure as I am I'll never let go of your hand
I promise you we'll fly up in sky's of blue
Our love will pull us through I promise you
Take a deep breath and just hold on to me, believe

Seems everytime things are looking up
Just when you thought everything was going well,
The sky comes crashing down
Something unexpected happens and ruins everything,
Seems everytime we spread our wings
Every time we try to progress,
We're chained to the ground
Something holds us back from succeeding,
These troubled times never seem to fade away
The current hardship seems never-ending,
But it won't be long 'till these dark clouds reveal better days
However, the tough times won't last forever, and things will soon get better.
I promise you
I guarantee you,
Whatever we run into
No matter what challenges we face,
As sure as I am I'll never let go of your hand
I will always be by your side and support you,
I promise you we'll fly up in sky's of blue
Together, we will overcome our struggles and soar to greater heights,
Our love will pull us through I promise you
Our love for each other will help us overcome any obstacle.
With innocence lost where do you run
When you lose your faith, where do you turn to,
To get out of the storm
To escape the tough times,
Dry your tears the only shelter you need
Don't worry, I will be your shelter and comfort,
Is right in my arms
All you need is my embrace,
Take a deep breath and just hold on to me believe
Take a moment to relax and trust me,
You belong in the sun now baby right here next to me
You deserve to be happy, and I will make sure you are by my side.
