i am the way

you've got a secret no one knows, locked away where no one goes, deep inside your heart, it's tearin' you apart. you hide the pain in all you do, still the shackles binding you are heavier than stone, but you are not alone. when you're down, look around, and you'll see i am with you. look to me and you'll see i will be there to guide you. take my hand and i can lead you on for you know: i am the answer, and i am the way. i am the promise, and i have called your name. so you want a brand new start, askin' me into your heart, down on bended knee, for the world to see. and the chains around your heart, fall away and break apart, suddenly you see, the truth has set you free. when you're down, look around, and you'll see i am with you, look to me and you'll see i will be there to guide you, take my hand and i can lead you on for you know: i am the answer, and i am the way. i am the promise, and, i have called your name. surrounded by darkness, you stumbled along, knowing the road that you traveled was long, but i'm here beside you, yes here all along, the one that will carry you on. when you're down, look around, and you'll see i am with you. look to me and you'll see i will be there to guide you. take my hand and i can lead you on for you know. i am the answer, and i am the way, i am the promise and, i have called. oh when you are down, you think no one's around, but i'll be with you both night and day. i know the good times, i'll see you through bad times, oh you know that i'm here to stay. i am the answer, and i am the way, i am the promise, and i have called your name.
