In our not too distant past We were nearly swallowed by the sea Though the mighty waves they crashed They couldn't take up you and me If again you ever find Misfortune taking hold of you I pray my words you'll keep in mind And that your soul finds them true I will hold your hand when the seas get rough When the tide is low, when the sun won't rise When the help won't come, when the moon is dark Hear my heart: you will never be alone I may never be A billionaire living by the sea But to you I give this thing That money could never buy for me I will hold your hand when the seas get rough When the tide is low, when the sun won't rise When the help won't come, when the moon is dark Hear my heart: you will never be alone There will be a day When my soul sees the light To keep safe from fear To yourself I hope that you'll recite I will hold your hand when the seas get rough When the tide is low, when the sun won't rise When the help won't come, when the moon is dark Hear my heart: you will never be alone
