Story Behind The Song

I once met a young woman whose beautiful, welcoming smile masked an incredible personal tragedy. I wrote this after finding out what her lovely smile and openness disguised. My heart goes out to people who carry such huge burdens.

Song Description

A song of encouragement for those harbouring difficult personal circumstances of any kind. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, inviting the listener to relax and reflect on whatever is troubling them and to seek support when this is necessary. The words may be interpreted in either a spiritual or humanist way.

Lyrics

I find you in the calm of night
When every care seems out of sight;
But words reveal a deep disquiet
That's never in your smile.
And as you talk with me,
I gaze, it seems, into a crafted shield
And sense beneath unspoken pain
You try to hide away.

But if you reach for me,
I'll hold you gently in my arms
And calm the torment in your troubled heart,
For you're my reason to be here.

So seek me when you're tossed and torn,
When nothing's working out at all.
No need to hide behind a wall.
There's nothing to be feared.
It may seem at times
That no one knows your weary mind,
Your prayers adrift in empty space,
Their answers time-delayed.

But if you reach for me,
I'll hold you gently in my arms
And calm the torment in your troubled heart,
For you're my reason to be here.

It may be tempting sometimes
To close your eyes and walk away;
But then the pain is all-consuming.
It makes no sense to let it stay.

If you reach for me,
I'll hold you gently in my arms
And calm the torment in your troubled heart,
For you're my reason to be here.
You're my reason to be here.
You're my reason to be here.
