I Will Never Fail You

You're gonna get let down by the ones you love They're going to run you over, say crazy things about you You're gonna throw sense out when you've had enough Sometimes it will seem like what they say is true You will not believe the things people will do I wish I could protect you but the pain is all for you I promise with all of my heart I will never fail you I'll be there to always lift you up I will never fail you You back is gonna bleed when the knives go in Your pride is gonna bruise, your will is gonna break Sometimes it seems you'll need some thicker skin And a stronger spine to help you stand up straight It's a cold, cruel world that we're meant to walk on through I wish you could stay home but a path is made for you There's a light that's glowing on the fringe of this frontier There's a voice that's telling you a truth you need to hear
