Caught in the downpour of a rain of stones Felt like an exile in the world I had known So I sought the shelter of my own soul and stayed inside Words that were sharper then the winter wind No longer had the power to pierce my skin And they may not stop but I wont take them in And I won't hide CHORUS: I will be here I will be strong I'll face my fears When the night is long And still go on I will be brave I will be bold Follow my faith To a higher road And I'm not there yet But I will be I could choose to keep my feet upon the narrow path Never cross the open field for that one snake in the grass But I'd rather risk my heart than never get the chance To find my way
