When the concrete is cold

But I still don’t get up

When the die has been rolled

And it all seems like luck 

When lies have been told

When truth can’t be found

When laughter is old

I need you around.

When the sunrise is bright

And joy’s no longer a surprise 

When it’s “will” instead of “might”

And I don’t wipe my eyes

When love holds me tight

And laughter is found

When I’m rejoicing 

I need you around.

When time is flying

And there’s too much to do

When I’m trying

But still falling through

When I’m stressing

And running aground

When I think I’m too busy

I need you around.

When the concrete is cold

Then your hand is warm

When the die has been rolled

You protect from the storm

When lies have been told

Then forgiveness is found

I’ll remember always

I need you around.
