Extra Mile

That feted face
That stunning smile
Hasn't been seen
In quite a while

It might not be my place

Crux

Crux

Call out just once and I’ll be there

No matter how far away

Time will not alter or change me

My love is here to stay

Take time to make some revisions

I know it worries you so

But remember I will be here waiting

When you’ve reached your lowest low

The world does its best to break you

To put you down in your place

But I’ll be here to protect you

Wipe the shadows that darken your face

So call on me when the time comes

Lean on me, I’m steady as the Earth

But the hour is coming when questions will rise

Time to prove your mettle and worth
