From the recording These Weights
Lyrics
When you’re feeling down, you’re up against the wall
Your legs are weak and you’re about to fall
When the sun goes down and you’re alone in the black
Don’t feel scared, I’ve got your back
When life gets hard, and times are tough
If you get lost and the road gets rough
If you’re singled out or feel peer pressures lash
Just stay strong, I’ve got your back
Chorus
I’ve got your back wherever you go
From the highest mountains to the lowest lows
From morning’s light to the last second of dark
If you need a fire I’ll be the spark
As step out into the unknown
And you stand at the crossroads wondering where to go
Don’t be afraid to beat your own path
For with each step forward I’ve got your back
If your heart gets broken or your eyes blur with tears
Friends turn away, insults sting your ears
If you’ve made some mistakes, ashamed of your past
I’m not here to judge; I’ve got your back
There’ll come a time when you have to stand up for what you believe
Remember no one can follow unless there’s someone to lead
And while you’re on that path, stand strong and outlast
I’ll be right behind, I’ve got your back.
Chorus
I’ve got your back wherever you go
From the highest mountains to the lowest lows
From morning’s light to the last second of dark
If you need a fire I’ll be the spark
As step out into the unknown
And you stand at the crossroads wondering where to go
Don’t be afraid to beat your own path
For with each step forward I’ve got your back
