I Will Stand Fast
The echoes of childhood whisper violence
Cold wind beating out of the past
Rage in your throat, muffled silence
Hold on, I will stand fast
In the darkness your guardians had left you
Cold wind
None to hear your cries, none to defend you
Hold on
[Chorus]
I will stand fast, I will stand fast
You are safe in the daylight at last
Nightmare and fear, they have no power here
I will stand fast
I will listen to the terrors that tried you
I will cradle the child that breathes inside you
Though you take the shape of a hundred ancient horrors
Though you strike at me and flee into your sorrow
[Chorus]
Birds flash upon a branch in winter
Ice in the sun begins to splinter
You will walk with no fetters to bind you
All the love you have wanted will find you
[Chorus]
I will stand fast
