When you throw your arms around me
You know that I'll be there
'Till you were lost in the way you found me
You know that I'll be there

We all need someone just to keep hanging on
It's enough to hold you here in my arms

The light that we share gonna light up the sky
I sit and I stare as if I don't care
It's just the child in me won't go away
I beg you to stay this is my prayer

When I was young I was selfish darling I wanted my own way
You were the shock to the system darling
A chance for sudden sway
We all make mistakes I'm all over the place
But you know that I'll be there in the end

The light that we share gonna light up the sky
I sit and I stare and I don't know why
It's just the child in me won't go away
I beg you to stay this is my prayer

The light that we share gonna light up the sky
I sit and I stare and I don't know why
It's just the child in me won't go away
I beg you to stay this is my prayer

The light that we share gonna light up the sky
I sit and I stare and I don't know why
It's just the child in me won't go away
