When the darkness is closing out all the light,
When you're cold and alone,
Trembling with fright.
You need only to call on my name.

When you need me, I will be there.
When your world starts to crumble, without fail,
I will be there to help you find the way.

Suddenly the nightmare is fading,
Suddenly I feel so free.
All because of a simple promise that you made to me,
And all of your children.

You promised that when we need you,
We need only to call you.
You will always be there.
