"So Will I" lyrics

"So Will I"

You say, what if I go crazy?
I say, that ain't gonna happen
You say, what if I get lost?
I say, you'll just find your way back
And you say, what if someone breaks my heart?
I'll pull it back together like I do

You say, what if I don't catch the dreams
That I've been out there chasing?
What if when my fears show up
I'm too afraid to face them?
Well, I can't fight your battles
But I sure can hold your hand and promise you

That the sky will still be up there
And the sun will always shine
The stars will keep on falling
For the ones who wish at night
The mountains won't start moving
And the rivers won't run dry
The world will always be there
And so will I
(Will I, will I)
(Will I, will I)

You say, what if things start changing?
I say, we'll be changing with them
We'll just sing a different melody
And dance at different rhythm
You say, what if I give up?
I say, that it's one thing that I'll never let you do

You say, what if someone leaves me
And they leave me empty-handed?
I say, losing only teaches you
To not take things for granted
No, I can't just bring them back
But darling, I can hold your hand and promise you

That the sky will still be up there
And the sun will always shine
The stars will keep on falling
For the ones who wish at night
The mountains won't start moving
And the rivers won't run dry
The world will always be there
And so will I

(Will I, will I)
(Will I, will I)
So will I, I
(Will I, will I)
Oh I (Will I, will I)
And so will I (Will I, will I), I
Oh I (Will I, will I), I
And so will I
(So will I, so will I) I
(So will I, so will I)

Even if the sky is falling
And the sun don't want to shine
If the stars we used to wish on
Disappear into the night
Well, I can move a mountain
But only by your side
Just say you'll always be there
I know you'll always be there
And so will I
