Babe, I know that there's forces all around you
Trying to break you down right to your bare
Babe, I know that there's demon's in the atmosphere
Trying to trip you up into their snares
But honey, God made me to wrap my arms around you
and hold you til the breaking of the dawn
So when the walls of life come crashing down upon you
and there's no steady ground to plant your feet
when there's no more hands reaching out catch you
I will not abandon you
I will not abandon you
I will not abandon you
Babe, I know that there's psycho's in our city
and they're caught up in some history that's now gone
Babe, I know that the nights are now too scary
that your sleeping with your lights on and fully clothed
So remember that I will be your blanket
And my warmth will protect you from the cold
So when the storms so thick that you can't see the ending
and the tunnels just too deep to see the light
When everyone you know throws reason out the window
I will not abandon you
I will not abandon you
I will not abandon you
Sometimes our love is circumstantial
and sometimes you don't want me at all
but I would be naive and foolish to believe you
when your pride denies my gentle helping hands
