about

featuring Bill Barbot

lyrics

if not another day was spent in self-defense
in writing the scripture
if not another night was lost to fear
fears about living
if I could bring the outside inside
if I could pull the stars down just for you
if I could make my words the right kind
if I could make you understand

that how we live
what we want
the way we give
and who we are
make it so
the strength of us should be enough

always and never are just the same
leaving my lips as a promise to you
from this day on, when you say my name
I will be there, I'll be there
always and never are just the same
leaving my lips as a promise to you
from this day on, when you say my name
I will be there

if I could always make you smile, make you laugh
keep your heart guessing
if I could never let you down, but pick you up
keep lifting you higher
if I could make the sun shine brighter
enough to warm the side of your sweet face
if I could make your soul feel lighter
if I could keep you always young

if you could never feel alone, or without love
without the answers
if every melody on earth would play for you—just for you
if “ever after” were a real time
and “never-never’ were a place that you could go
if every rainbow led to somewhere
if every dream would turn to gold

then how we live
what we want
the way we give
and who we are
make it so
the strength of us should be enough

always and never are just the same
leaving my lips as a promise to you
from this day on, when you say my name
I will be there, I will be there
always and never are just the same
leaving my lips as a promise to you
from this day on, when you say my name
I will be there
