Safe in the shadow and true in the light
AmRemoved from the lost and the found
B7I harbour my strength to Emremember that night

Verse 2---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I Emhadn't been reckless, I'd never have learned
taking Amleave of my balance or slipped
But I Emstarted to tremble, to freeze and to burn
ever Amyou are my challenge and gift

As sure as the joy can find peace in the pain
So the Ameaves can be proud of the workD
