lyrics

When you’re the one, that everyone turns to
Then where do you turn?
And if it’s your shoulder, that everyone cries on
Then where do you cry?

When, you’re the one
When, you’re the one

When you’re the one, that everyone trusts in
Then where do you trust?
And if you’re the rock that everyone leans on
Then where do you lean?

When, you’re the one
When, you’re the one

Your branches bracing
against the bitter wind
I am firm ground,
let your roots dig in

When you need someone to turn to
Turn to me, turn to me
And if you need a shoulder to cry on
Cry on mine. Cry on mine.

I’ll be the one
I’ll be the one

When you need someone to trust in
Trust in me. Trust in me.
And if you need a rock to lean on
Then lean on me. Lean on me.

I’ll be the one
I’ll be the one

For you
