Every Step of the Way

I was there in world war one I remember Vietnam I was standing by your side in the hills of Afghanistan You were young and you were scared but you still stood tail I'm watching as your heart breaks when the men around you fall I'll be there. every step of the way The voice inside that gives you hope to face another day I'll be there. every step of the way The strength to give you courage to fight another day I was right behind you when they lead you to the dock And I was lying down with you when they turned the lock I'm the words on the pages and the letters you sent home The loneliness is a killer but you're never on your own I'll be there. every step of the way The voice inside that gives you hope to face another day I'll be there. every step of the way The strength to give you courage to fight another day There's a dream but don't let them own you Care to wonder to ask why Take your moment to think it over Make your choice. hold your head up high I was looking over you when the doctors called you in Bigger men had crumbled but you took it on the chin I saw how you struggled with the news you had to give There's no shame in losing faith when all you wanna do is live I'll be there. every step of the way The voice inside that gives you hope to face another day I'll be there. every step of the way The strength to give you courage to fight another day The strength to give you courage to fight another day
