They shelter and torture their jewel,
and when you find yourself alone.
Remember I am with you,
and when you lose yourself and groan,
Child, I am with you.

They sever the heart from the home,
but when you cry out for your love,
Remember, I am with you.
And when you reach out for someone,
I promise I am with you.

Sullen head, tortured heart,
Would you recognize me in the dark?
Touch those eyes just like stars,
can you feel the love beneath these scars?
Wingless angel here on earth,
blameless beyond the sacrifice.
There's only so much that you can take,
I promise to bear the other parts.

You feel like you're coming undone,
but when you feel this way, my child...
remember I am with you.
and if you feel like you're defiled,
remember I am with you.

Just close your crying eyes,
and whisper prayers to me, my child.
Remember I am with you.
Just hold on tightly to my peace,
Remember I am with you.

Tortured cherub, sweet and still,
remember my love spilled on that hill.
I'll hold you forever in my arms,
don't let yourself fade amidst this harm.
Hold on strong and don't lose heart,
I recognize you in the dark.
There's only so long that you must wait,
I promise I'll never hesitate.
Precious child, hold your fears.
I promise t wipe away your tears.
Somewhere in agony you lay,
but within your heart I'll always stay.
Suffer this hell you're drowning in.
This anguish and pain they've put you through.
Hold on to me and don't let go,
Remember that I am here with you.
