Verse 1
Lately I know it's been hard
To find any rhyme or reason
Good jobs are scarce
And bills are piled up on the stairs
I've seen you look in the mirror and blame who you are
So, I'm going to share my secret to changing your stars

Chorus
Let me hold you
Wrap you in love
Let me hold you
Give all I've got
Let me show you
Miracles happen each day
They're a heartbeat away

Verse 2
This is the time in your life
When you will need to believe
And put all your faith and your dreams
Into something unseen
If you fight back the demons that say you can't win
I will give you the reasons to never give in

Chorus

Bridge
I've learned this very moment is all that we have
So don't let the future be defined by your past
Wishes come true if you truly believe
And promise to share them with someone in need

Chorus

Like the song

The song had a nice feel too it, more of an "old Country" kind of feel, which was actually refreshing to listen to. I found the rhythm of the song very enjoyable to listen to. The instrumentation and production were all well done.
