When a mountain blocks your way
and when your blue sky turns grey
I will take your hand

When a dust storm leaves you blind
and when sorrow is all you find
By your side I will stand

When all your joy has died
and when you run out of places to hide
I will be your oceans sand

When lifes river floods your soul
and when you're trapped in the darkest of holes
Give me a chance,I think I can

Stevie,


When my obstacles were tall
And the dark days looked like fall,
I needed a hand

When I couldn’t find my way
And sorrow was here to stay
I needed you near

When my heart was broken
And my thoughts went unspoken
I needed a place to stand

When I was overwhelmed by life
Surrounded by so much strife
You were my chance, I knew you could


Way cool! Super...super...super...
