Lyrics

I've seen darkness, I've seen pain

I've been left outside in the howling rain

I've heard heartbreak and tiny screams

As I wade through streets of broken dreams

Through these tears, I think I see a light

And I swear, I won't go down without a fight

I've been through hell and high water

I've built a wall of strength around me, and now a world of love surrounds me

I've been through hell and high water

I know whatever comes my way, tomorrow will always be a brand new day

Little sister, don't you cry

Don't search for answers, 'cause it will be alright

Little brother, hey what's your name?

Don't hold it all inside, don't you be ashamed

Climb aboard, we're heading for dry land

All you've got to do, is take hold of my hand

We've been through hell and high water

We built a wall of strength around us, now a world of love surrounds us

We've been through hell and high water

I know whatever comes our way, tomorrow will always be a brand new day

Instrument break

I've been witness to a love beyond compare

I was under, now I'm coming up for air

I've been through hell and high water

I've built a wall of strength around me, and now a world of love surrounds me

We've been through hell and high water

We built a wall of strength around us, and now a world of love surrounds us

We've been through hell and high water

I know whatever comes our way, tomorrow will always be a brand new day
