[Verse 1]
Em
  Caught in the downpour
     D
Of a rain of stones
Em
  Felt like an exile
       D
In the world I had known
Em
  So, I sought the shelter
   D
Of my own soul
             C    G  Am
And stayed inside       yeah

Em
  Words that were sharper
         D
Then the winter wind
Em
  No longer had the power
   D
To pierce my skin
Em
  And they may not stop
      D
But I won't take them in
           C     Em7  Am7  D
And I won't  hi—--i----i---ide

[Chorus]
G           D
  I will be here
          Em
I will be strong
             C
I'll face my fears
                  G
When the night is long
             D
And still go on

G           D
  I will be brave
          Em
I will be bold
          C
Follow my faith
            G
To a higher road
                  D
And I'm not there yet
D
But I will be

[Solo]
Em | D | Em | D

Em
  I could choose to keep my feet
 D
Upon the narrow path
Em
  Never cross the open field
         D
For that one snake in the grass
Em
  But I'd rather risk my heart
     D
Then never get the chance
        C      Em7  Am7 D
To find my wa---a--a-a—ay

[Chorus]
G           D
  I will be here
          Em
I will be strong
             C
I'll face my fears
                  G
When the night is long
             D
And still go on

G           D
  I will be brave
          Em
I will be bold
          C
Follow my faith
            G
To a higher road
                  D
And I'm not there yet

But I will be

[Chorus]
      G            D
Hey-a-ay I will be here
          Em
I will be strong
             C
I'll face my fears
                  G
When the night is long
             D
And still go on

G           D
  I will be brave
          Em
I will be bold
          C
Follow my faith
            G
To a higher road
                  D
And I'm not there yet
D
But I will be

[Outro]
G           D
  I will be here
          Em
I will be strong
             C
I'll face my fears
                  G
When the night is long
             D
And still go on
G           D
  I will be brave

G           D
  I will be here
          Em
I will be strong
             C
I'll face my fears
                  G
When the night is long
             D
And still go on
G           D
  I will be brave
