* 2-bar intro

* Verse 1 You've the bravest of hearts, you've the strongest of souls.
You're my light in the dark, you're the place I call home.
You can say it's all right, but I know that you're breaking up inside.
I see it in your eyes.
Even you face the night afraid and alone.
That's why I'll be there.

* Chorus When the storm rises up, when the shadows descend,
Ev'ry beat of my heart, ev'ry day without end,
Ev'ry second I live, that's the promise I make.
Baby, that's what I'll give if that's what it takes.
If that's what it takes.

* Verse 2 You can sleep in my arms, you don't have to explain.
When your heart's crying out, baby, whisper my name,
'Cause I've reached out for you when the thunder is crashing up above.
You've given me your love
When you smile like the sun that shines through the pain.
That's why I'll be there.

* Chorus 2 When the storm rises up, when the shadows descend,
Ev'ry beat of my heart, ev'ry day without end,
I will stand like a rock, I will bend 'till I break.
'Till there's no more to give if that's what it takes.
I will risk everything, I will fight, I will bleed.
I will lay down my life if that's what you need.
Ev'ry second I live, that's the promise I make.
Baby, that's what I'll give if that's what it takes.

* Chorus 3 Through the wind and the rain, through the smoke and the fire,
When the fear rises up, when the wave's ever higher,
I will lay down my heart, my body, my soul.
I will hold on all night and never let go.
Ev'ry second I live, that's the promise I make.
Baby, that's what I'll give if that's what it takes.

* Ad-lib 'till end
Background vocals during ad-libs:
I'll love you all night long
And never let go.
Oh, darling,
I'll promise every second. (4x)
