[Verse 1]
I am Emlearning to walk with Dgrace in the dark
I am A/C#learning to trust and to Clead with my heart
When the Emold moon is Dgone into A/C#silence and Csighs
It's the Emone and only Dtime a A/C#new moon can Crise
[Verse 2]
SomeEmtimes there is no reason, the Dmoon waxes and wanes
It was the A/C#100 year flood and Cyou were in the way
Some Emthings we find in Ddaylight and we're A/C#grateful to Cknow
Some Emthings we only Dlearned where we A/C#did not want to Cgo
[Chorus]
GI can't tell you it will Emall turn out fine
But I Cknow is there's Dhelp in hard Emtimes
[Instrumental]
Em D  A/C# C
[Bridge]
BmBruised and bewildered I am Emlooking out the door
BmUnsure of how to do what I've Emnever done before
But CI am not aGlone, with my Dquestions and my Emfears
When the Amold moon is done, the Dnew moon appears
[Verse 3]
I'm insEmpired and troubled by the Dstories I have heard
In the A/C#blue light of evening all Cboundaries get blurred
And I Embelieve in something Dbetter, and that A/C#love's the final Cword
And that there's Emstill something Dwhole and A/C#sacred in this Cworld
[Chorus]
GI can't tell you it will Emall turn out fine
But CI know is there's Dhelp in hard Emtimes
Ending
GSure it could, it could Emall be just fine
But I Cknow there is Dhelp in hard Emtimes
All I Cknow is there's Dhelp in hard Emtimes
All I Cknow is there's Dhelp in hard Emtimes
