Because of You

Genre: Folk

Lyrics

Around the table we all sat
Ideas passed around inside your hat
you said, ‘there’s a way from here to there.’
but my uncertainty sat in the chair
next to me

Last morning star has set
choices to be made but haven’t yet
there’s a shelf to rest the fear
you said, “close the door on doubt
when it is near”

Chorus:
With you, here I am
With you, here I stand
You made this real
and I’m here because of you,
(I’m here) because of you

Trust visits in my sleep
like the wind it lifts me into belief
the guides coax me ’round the bend
and then I see you standing
there my friend

Chorus

Bridge:
Unexpectedly
your gift, unwrapped the waiting
when you saw in me
possibility

Gratitude does a crazy thing
It always makes my cry so I think I’ll sing
To all of you who played a part
You brought me here, I hold you
in my heart

With you, here I am
With a humble heart, here I stand
You made this real and
I’m here because of you
I’m here because of you
I’m here, with you
