In these moments of lost in torment
When the vast skies don’t seem to call to you
When the weight of this world press down
And the stars have fallen like tears

I am with you always
From the darkness tonight to the morning
I am with you always
From the life until death takes me

Monuments build to remembrance of me
The monuments fade and fall in decay
The memories of all that remains
As far as east is from the west, remember

I am with you always
From the darkness tonight until the morning
I am with you always
From the life until death takes me

When hope seems lost down and lonely
I am here with you always

I am with you always
From the darkness of night
I am with you always
From the darkness tonight until the morning
I am with you always
From life until death takes me

I am with you always
From life until death takes me
