When shadows fall

And blue skies all turn to gray

I'll light the way

When night rolls in

And You need a friend who'd wait for days

I'll always stay

Right by Your side

Nothing to hide from Me

Through thick and thin

There and back again, You'll see

You can count on Me

When yesterdays won't burn away

Like they used to do

I'll walk through them too

When the echoes pound

Drown out the sound of love so true

I'll whisper to You

Right by Your side

Nothing to hide from Me

Through thick and thin

There and back again, You'll see

You can count on Me

Em D Bm

You can count on Me

G D

When the fire's on the ground

Em D Bm

You can count on Me

When the ashes won't stay down

Em D Bm

When smoke and darkness

G D

Cloud all You see

Em D Bm

When eyes won't stay open

G A

You can count on Me

Through thick and thin

There and back again, You'll see
