Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There will be days
When the sun won't shine
When it seems like
The whole world is against you
Don't be afraid
Life is unkind
You can let go of the pain
If you choose to
[Verse 2]
'Cause time slips away
Skies fall apart
It ain't too hard
A universal heart
Glowing
Flowing
All around you
[Verse 3]
There will be nights
That go on forever
Like you're long, lost at sea
Never to be found
[Verse 4]
Just know in your heart
That we're always together
And long after I'm gone
Still be around
[Verse 5]
'Cause our bond is eternal
And so is love
God is inside you
All around you
And up above
Knowing
Showing
You the way
[Verse 6]
Time slips away
Skies fall apart
It ain't too hard
A universal heart
Glowing
Flowing
All around you
