If you hadn’t come into my life,

Where would I be living now?

Cast out on a sea of trouble,

The boy inside the plastic bubble,

Oh, but here you are. . .

 

If you hadn’t given me your hand,

What would I be holding now?

Plastic flowers in a bowl,

The broken fragments of my soul

Oh, but here you are. . .

 

And though there’s pain enough to go around,

Your hands have set me gently on the ground,

I hope to do the same for you,

But if I miss a cue or two,

I know you’ll see what’s true and

Keep me heartward bound.

 

If you hadn’t stood here by my side,

Where would I be standing now?

Shackled to a heart of steel,

Still tottering on training wheels,

But, oh, here you are. . .

 

-refrain-

 

If you hadn’t given me your trust,

Who would I believe in now?

I pluck my dreams from the highest tree

Your lovin' arms will steady me

And, oh, here you are.

Oh, here you are,

Oh, here you are.
