lyrics

I know what you mean,
When you say that you're scared
About the length of the days and the stillness of nights
That lie up ahead,

Because we've seen what it's like,
And it seems no one's prepared
For the disloyal shelter of youth
To no longer be there.

But we will not abandon you,
We will not abandon you,
You have this song as my word.

I came into this world, crying and weak,
And my mother was just there.
And it was there that I entered the ongoing circle,
Of the needing and the giving of care.

And it will not abandon you,
Just as you have not abandoned it,
Whenever you were needed,
Whenever you are needed.

But I know what you mean,
And we will be there,
In the ongoing circle of the needing and the giving and the needing and the giving and the needing of care.

And we will not abandon you,
We will not abandon you,
You have this song as my word.
