Talking makes us human that's what I was told So why do I find it so difficult to let my feelings unfold Had I the courage to tell you I'd promise you this
If that's what you need I'll be the river I'll be the mountain always beside you If that's what you need I will be stronger I will be braver than ever before
When you came along and turned it all around I promised myself I wouldn't tell you Until we stood on solid ground Holding the candle between us I'll tell you this
If that's what you need I'll be the river I'll be the mountain always beside you If that's what you need I will be stronger I will be braver than ever before
And if there's any kind of danger I hear you calling out my name You can follow in my footsteps And I will lead you safely back again
I never understood you however hard I tried But it took me a while until I realised That all the problems were mine Holding you nearer to me to tell you this
If that's what you need I'll be the river I'll be the mountain always beside you If that's what you need I will be stronger I will be braver than ever before And when things go wrong I'll be your conscience there to remind you all of your life When you go wrong I'll be the reason you'll be protected all of your days
