By NeedToBreathe, this song is freaking awesome and honestly reminds me of some people I know because family don't end with blood.
Ramblers in the wilderness, we can't find what we need.
Get a little restless from the searching, get a little worn down in between.
Like a bull chasing a matador is a man left to his own schemes;
Everyone needs someone beside them shining like a lighthouse from the sea.
Brother let me be your shelter-
Never leave you all alone.
I can be the one you call when you're low.
Brother let me be your fortress,
When the night winds are driving on.
Be here to light the way,
bring you home.
Face down in the desert now, with a cage locked around my heart.
I found a way to drop my keys where my failures were,
now my hands can't reach that far.
I ain't made for rivalry-
I could never take the world alone.
I know that in my weakness I am strong,
but it's your love that brings me home.
Brother let me be your shelter-
Never leave you all alone.
I can be the one you call when you're low.
Brother let me be your fortress,
When the night winds are driving on.
Be here to light the way,
bring you home.
And when you call, and need me near, sayin' where'd you go?
Brother, I'm right here.
And on those days, when the sky begins to fall,
You're the blood of my blood.
We can get through it all.
Brother let me be your shelter-
Never leave you all alone.
I can be the one you call when you're low.
Brother let me be your fortress,
When the night winds are driving on.
Be here to light the way,
bring you home.
Brother let me be your shelter-
Never leave you all alone.
I can be the one you call when you're low.
Brother let me be your fortress,
When the night winds are driving on.
Be here to light the way,
bring you home.
This song really speaks to me. More than that... it resonates with my soul.
"Everyone needs someone beside them..."? Those lyrics can ring around my head for ages after I hear them. Why? Because they're true. But more than just us needing people to count on... We want to be able to count on others. We want to be worthy of their trust.
Well, guess what?
I'm willing to bet that there are people out there who want to be worth y of your trust. They want to be able to make you happy, to be your family even if they aren't your blood.
It doesn't matter if the person (or people) you have are related by blood or not, because it's proven that usually our chosen family have stronger bonds with us than our blood relations.
I don't know about you guys, but I have found the greatest family on here, and that includes all of you.
So know that someday you will find your brothers and sisters, and that they will be able to pull you away from any edges you feel like you're on.
You are not alone in this- you have people who want to help you. Sp please, believe that you're worth helping, because you are. And let them help you.
