All The Time You Need

From when you called for me in deep distress
I got the feeling you were truly scared to death
Your eyes were beggin me don’t go anywhere
You had a story that I felt you had to tell
I was afraid it was about your trip through hell
You caught a part of me so unpreparedChorusSo you stared at the clock repeatedly
Afraid of takin’ too much time from me
Though I promised you I’d never leave, no I would never leave
In every healing that will make you strong
There’s the feeling that it takes too long
It cannot be too long for you and me
Got all the time you need
We took a moment to try just slowin’ down
We didn’t rush into the darkness all around
We never focused on the things that just aren’t fair
Eventually the light came shining through
And it revealed things that we just never knew
Without a single word filling the air
Chorus

As an hour passed or maybe two
So strange how all the time just flew
All the broken parts inside refused to bleed
And there was hope that you could then move on
Let the stillness do it’s work as long
As it will take until you’re finally free
With all the time you need

Bridge

When you were shakin’, felt all was breakin’
Yet in the stillness friend the love was always there
And when it’s not my turn to sit and hold
If I’m the one who needs to be consoled
I’ll trust there’s more than time enough to spare

Chorus

And in the silence light comes shinin’ through
And it will teach me things that I never knew
Without a single word the silent voices lead
And in the moments that are here and gone
I’ll let the stillness do it’s work as long
As it will take until my soul’s been freed
With all the time I need
