D         A                D
The echoes of childhood wisper violence
G         Bm                 A
Cold wind beating out of the past
G    A           D  G       Bm
Rage in your throat muffled silence
G    A         D
Hold on I will stand fast

In the darkness your guardians had left you
Cold wind beating out of the past
None to hear your cries none to defend you
Hold on I will stand fast

CHORUS:
             G     A            D
I will stand fast, I will stand fast
        G           D           A
You are safe in the daylight at last
G             A         D             Em 
Nightmare and fear they have no power here
G A          D
I will stand fast

I will listen to the terrors that tried you
I will cradel the child that breathes beside you

Though you take the shape of a hundred ancient horrors
Though you strike at me and flee into your sorrow

CHORUS:

Birds flash upon a branch in the winter
Ice in the sun begins to splinter

You will walk with no fetters to bind you
All the love you have wanted will find you

CHORUS:
