On this earth not alone we stand Outstretched arm and upturned hand Never knowing when the shakes steady And 'till now we have seldom seen And I will go if you go with me Understand I will wait for thee I'll try to catch up if you move quickly If the rain does blow
And oh sir If you ever lose your way You can call upon this family You can call upon this day And oh man If you ever lose your way You can call up on this family You can call upon this day
'Cause you're my present my future My lesson my teacher Oh... My world is still You're my guard you're my guide In my life I confide to ever shelter your will And my words are forerver you're my blanket my shiver Whatever you give I'll never lack
You're my chorus my refrain The verse of my first pain Let the voices come barrelling back
'Cause I can stand to stay right where I am Let the water fill this hand Bring it to your mouth And pass beyond your lips No gale can down this ship
And I'll stand on your shoulders To watch us grow older I can see us far along the road As the trail grows deeper your my giver my keeper Laughter for years untold
'Cause I can stand to stay right where I am Let the water fill this hand Bring it to your mouth And pass beyond your lips No gale can down this ship
And wherever you go there you are And if I go I won't go far Wherever you go There you are And if I go I won't go far
And oh sir If you ever lose your way You can call upon this family You can call upon this day
