Intro: verse 1 I promise this: I'll never take you for granted Without a kiss I knew... you're all that I wanted You walked into the room... and in a word you owned it I couldn't move, I was... locked into that moment Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh verse 2 And from the stage it was... like the heavens opened I felt the world shiftin' gears into slow motion You justified a dream I always carried with me Just when I'd given up, your love swooped in to lift me up Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh Don't be afraid when the waves get too tall Or when this noisy world makes you feel small I'll be there to carry you to safety verse 3 I was a seagull wand'rin' the lonely beaches Now I'm an eagle soarin' to your upper reaches Not very long ago you were a total stranger Now suddenly you are real-life changer Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh Don't be afraid when the waves get too tall Or when this noisy world makes you feel small I'll be there to carry you to safety Instrumental Don't be afraid when the waves get too tall Or when this noisy world makes you feel small Don't be afraid when the waves get too tall Or when it's cold and the snow starts to fall I'll be there to carry you to safety
