Talking makes us human that´s what I was told
So why do I find it so difficult to let my feelings unfold
Had I the courage to tell you I´d promise you this

If that´s what you need
I´ll be the river I´ll be the mountain always beside you
If that´s what you need
I will be stronger I will be braver than ever before

When you came along and turned it all around
I promised myself I wouldn´t tell you
Until we stood on solid ground
Holding the candle between us I´ll tell you this

If that´s what you need
I´ll be the river I´ll be the mountain always beside you
If that´s what you need
I will be stronger I will be braver than ever before

And if there´s any kind of danger
I hear you calling out my name
You can follow in my footsteps
And I will lead you safely back again

I never understood you however hard I tried
But it took me a while until I realised
That all the problems were mine
Holding you nearer to me to tell you this

If that´s what you need
I´ll be the river I´ll be the mountain always beside you
If that´s what you need
I will be stronger I will be braver than ever before
And when things go wrong
I´ll be your conscience there to remind you all of your life
When you go wrong
I´ll be the reason you´ll be protected all of your days
