Everlasting Love

Where there is grief

There will be hope

And if ever a hand is in need

Know that I'll be holdin' on

Know that the peace that comes from above

Is the same everlasting love

Remember me whenever you're all alone

And if it helps you to sleep know that I'll be looking on

Know that the peace that you dream of

Is the same everlasting love

You know I've watched you carry all this weight

Upon your shoulders

As if no one understands

What you go through

But with all the might in you

Believe what I say is true

When I say that I will never ever leave you

Or forsake you

So you just reach

(Just reach)

Out as far as you can

(I can)

Should the whole world just stare in disbelief

Know that I'll take hold of your hand

What your heart feels, is what you sing of

Is the same everlasting love

(Everlasting love)

(Hmm, hmm, hmm)

(Everlasting love, oh-oh- yeah)

Hmm, listen

When the darkness filled the urgent sky

And the tears welled up in the corners of my eyes

And the sun would shine for the pourin' rain

Wondered if I'd ever see daylight again

When the stars protest at the moon's refrain

And I told myself I'd surely go insane

And the earth kept turnin' at an alarmin' pace

And I couldn't talk my heart out of joinin' the race

I remember a time I couldn't close my eyes

I would lie awake dispairin'

Don't know how many nights

Afraid of death that my chest

Would give way to the fear

Pulled the covers over my head and I cupped my ears

In attempt to escape the deafening sounds of silence

In attempt to escape these constant visions of violence

And with death as close as it could possibly get

Heard a voice in the distance sayin' "CeCe not yet"

Then suddenly the darkness gave away to the light

And I threw off the covers as I closed my eyes

Just in time to feel your spirit grip my body like a glove

And I knew in that moment that it was your

That it was your everlasting, lasting love

(Love)

Yesterday, and today, forever more it will remain

Even now its still the same

(Love, love)

Because my love will never change

Yesterday, not today

And today, hey

(Love, ooh, is not the same, ooh)

Know that the peace that comes from above

Is that same everlasting love
