I Will Be

Caught in the downpour of a rain of stones

Felt like an exile in the world I had known

So I sought the shelter of my own soul and stayed inside

Words that were sharper than the winter wind

No longer had the power to pierce my skin

And they may not stop but I won't take them in

And I won't hide

I will be here

I will be strong

I'll face my fears when the night is long

And still go on

I will be brave

I will be bold

Follow my faith to a higher road

And I'm not there yet

But I will be

I could choose to keep my feet upon the narrow path

And never cross the open field for that one snake in the grass

But I'd rather risk my heart than never get the chance

To find my way

I will be here

I will be strong

I'll face my fears when the night is long

And still go on

I will be brave

I will be bold

Follow my faith to a higher road

And I'm not there yet

But I will be

I will be here

I will be strong

I'll face my fears when the night is long

And still go on

I will be brave

I will be bold

Follow my faith to a higher road

And I'm not there yet

But I will be, yeah

I will be, oh yeah

I will be here

I will be strong

I'll face my fears when the night is long

And still go on
