Lyrics:
There’s an emptiness here now you’re gone
There’s one less voice in my world
One less Number in my phone
My safety net fell flush to the floor
Now it’s a deathly trapeze
And what am I doing it for?

But you come to me in the night
Singing “Edelweiss”, and giving me wisdom
You say; “What’s for you won’t pass you
They can’t buy what you don’t sell
If everybody loves you, then you’re not being yourself
Value minutes more than pennies
Don’t ever put a price tag on your soul”
“Let go of the begrudgers, hold on to your friends
Keep close the ones that love you,
They’ll be there in the end
Fill yourself up with kindness
Don’t let malice have a place in your soul”

“You’re not on your own
I’m deep in your fabric
You’re taking me with you
Wherever you go”

“So don’t be afraid
I’m here on the sideline
I’ll walk with you through the darkness
I’ll celebrate the light
You’re not on your own”

So I’ll keep singing till I can’t sing anymore
I’ll see your face in the crowd
I’ll remember the things that you wore
I’ll strive to be the man you taught me to be
Then when the waters get rough
In my dreams you’ll whisper to me..

“You’re not on your own
I’m deep in your fabric
You’re taking me with you
Wherever you go”

“So don’t be afraid
I’m here on the sideline
I’ll walk with you through the darkness
I’ll celebrate the light
You’re not on your own”

“You’re not on your own
I’m deep in your fabric
You’re taking me with you
Wherever you go”

“So don’t be afraid
I’m here on the sideline
I’ll walk with you through the darkness
I’ll celebrate the light
You’re not on your own”
