I was sure that I would never escape
The story I had written for me
I couldn't find a way out
I couldn't see beyond the clouds
That swirled around me
Then one day I opened my eyes
And looked up to find that the sky
Had turned blindingly blue
And right by my side there was you
Quietly taking your stand
And you were holding my hand
I believed that I (I believed)
Would never be able to rely (that I would never find)
On anybody else (anybody else)
And I was sure that I (I was)
Would just have to learn to survive (sure that I would always)
All by myself (be all by myself)
And one day I opened my eyes (one day I opened my eyes)
And looked up to find that the sky
Had turned blindingly blue
And right by my side there was you
Quietly taking a stand
And you were holding my hand
You were holding my hand!
You were just there for me
Quietly taking a stand
Changing the end of my story for me
You were there as I battled my fears
I fell and you helped me to stand
When the storm finally cleared
You were there
You were still holding my hand
You were still holding my hand
You kicked down the doors for me (kicked down the doors for me)
You helped me understand (you helped me understand)
There was another version of me
You were still holding my hand (when I grow up)
You were just there for me (I will be braver)
Quietly taking a stand (after all)
Changing the end of my story for me
You were still holding my hand
You were just there for me
Quietly taking a stand
Changing the end of my story for me
You were still holding my hand
