Take a look out in the distance
See the fire light up the night
Will it ever come this far mama, oh will we make it alright
The embers are risin' and the ashes fall like rain
I'm blinded by the smoke and prayin'
For daylight again

Can i take your hand
Mama don't let go

If the sky is falling
And the mountains all shake
Will you be my shelter
Till a new dawn breaks
She said i'll walk you through the shadows
Till we make it through the night
Don't worry about the darkness
It's just the other side of the light

As i look back in my memory
I guess i've made it through somehow
I have stumbled through the valley
Halfway up the mountain now
Another storm on the horizon another axe about to fall
I can't go back the way i came just forward through it all

I'll take your hand
No, i won't let go

If the sky is falling
And the mountains all shake
Will you give me shelter
Till a new dawn breaks
She said i'll walk you through the shadows
Till we make it through the night
Don't worry about the darkness
It's just the other side of the light

Can you open up your arms
And cover one another
Can you shine and light the way
For your sister and your brother

If the sky is falling
And the mountains all shake
Will you give me shelter
Till a new dawn breaks
She said i'll walk you through the shadows
Till we make it through the night
Don't worry about the darkness
It's just the other side of the light
