i catch you when you slip and fall

when you can’t tell when life’s too tall

i can’t step in and heed your call

but i can pray you’ll sleep at night.  

i witnessed it; your uncouth death

i buried it, whatever’s left

i left you there, the dead to rest

i’ll be your shining light. 

where there’s a form you’ll find a soul

a wondrous thing, it’s life so full

and yet it’s sin is deathly cold

i beg; don’t fade to night. 

i’ll witness you; your rise to grace

kneel at my sight, your rightful place.

and when you find the last staircase

i know you did what’s right. 

i will always be there

my Love.
