Story Behind The Song

We had a pretty catastrophic and frightening incident on a lonely Mexican highway but people rallied to get us through it. This song was the outcome.

Song Description

Being reminded that when life gets hard or scary there are always good people in the world who will often come to your rescue.

Lyrics

V1
When the sun is sinking low
And I don't know which way to go
Hope is fading just as fast
As that last light of day
I don't know which way to turn
I feel my eyes begin to burn
I squeeze them tight and make a wish
That it'll be okay

Pre-Chorus
Then like an answer to my silent prayer
Somebody always shows up from somewhere

Chorus
Friends I didn't know I had
Appear when everything goes bad
They walk me through the coldest, darkest night
Helping hearts are all around
If you look they always can be found
They make me see that it'll be alright
They tell that somebody out there cares
And there are good folks everywhere

V2
When the night keeps growing colder
And the world rests on my shoulders
I don't know how I am going to make it through this on my own
It never ceases to amazing
An angel swoops right in and saves me
And reminds me that no matter what
I'm not out here alone

Pre-Chorus
Like an answer to my silent prayer
Somebody always shows up from somewhere

Chorus
Friends I didn't know I had
Appear when everything goes bad
They walk me through the coldest, darkest night
Helping hearts are all around
If you look they always can be found
They let me know that it'll be alright
They tell me that somebody out there cares
And there are good folks everywhere

Bridge
I remind myself to trust
And just be still
Have faith that things will work out
And they will

Chorus
Friends I didn't know I had
Appear when everything goes bad
They walk me through the coldest, darkest night
Helping hearts are all around
If you look they always can be found
They make me see that it'll be alright
They tell me that somebody out there cares
And there are good folks everywhere
There are good folks everywhere
