When the road has been too long
And burdens are avowed
Command yourself to being strong
For just the here and now
But if you find, you cannot keep
The vast struggles at bay
Remember as you stop to weep
I am one prayer away.

Embrace the trouble that you bear
And heed its weighed call
Although you feel pain and despair
You need not take a fall
Place faith in what the future holds
Whene’er the skies are gray
And know as each moment unfolds
I am one prayer away.

When the daylight is growing dim
And darkness comes to state
In all its vigor and its vim
That sorrow is your fate
Remember, if you shed a tear
That in your heart I’ll stay
For even when I am not near –
I am one prayer away.
