Tell me your secrets, I’lll keep them safe
No sign of weakness, it’s a sign of faith
We’ll stand tall so you don’t fall
You’re not defeated, you’re in repair
Don’t have to call me, I’ll always be there
We’ll stand tall, so you don’t fall
If you could see how far you’ve walked
You would see that’s all not lost
I will never give up on you
I don’t care what I’ve got to lose
Just give me your hand and hold on
Together we’ll dance through this storm
I will never give up on you
You’re the one that I’m running to
Just give me your hand and hold on
Together we’ll dance through this storm
Under the surface, I see you glow
I’m right beside you, you’re never alone
Don’t let go, when you’re so close
If you could see how far you’ve walked
You would see that’s all not lost
I will never give up on you
I don’t care what I’ve got to lose
Just give me your hand and hold on
Together we’ll dance through this storm
I will never give up on you
You’re the one that I’m running to
Just give me your hand and hold on
Together we’ll dancing through…
This madness, we’re running through
This magic, it’s inside of you
It’s madness, it’s madness…
Now you can see how you’ve walked,
The mountain climbed, the oceans crossed
I don’t care what I’ve got to lose
Just give me your hand and hold on
Together we’ll dance through this storm
I will never give up on you
You’re the one that I’m running to
Just give me your hand and hold on
Together we’ll dance through this storm
