| Lyrics: | Standing in the spotlight, every single day Living for myself, but not finding my way And when I started breaking, you gave me a home Showed me I would never be alone Who loved me all along? It was you Who held me in their arms? It was you Who saw beneath the surface? Who saw beneath the tears? Who took away my sadness and my fears? It was you When I start to fall, when I cannot stand You are right behind me with a gentle hand When I ask for someone, to listen and care I know you’ll always be there Chorus Your love is always there for me Your love can always set me free Chorus By Dave Tough & Nate Anderton |

Said Dave: "I enjoy making a living making music as there is something always new to learn. If you know one instrument, you can learn another. If you know how to engineer one style, you can always learn another. My main question I ask myself when writing and making music is "what gives you goosebumps". The mechanics of songwriting and engineering can get quite technical, however at the end of the day its what makes you feel something."
