I watched you watch your mother go down Cant stare into the sun when you're underground I wonder at the end what she found Cause this can't be God's plan How does it work? Where do we go? Isn't it strange? That we might never really know Is there a reason Under the weight of it all The earth keeps on turning And it doesn't just fall And if you have to go You won't depart alone And I'll be right beside you As we step into the dark And that's the place to start I heard you hear the crack in your own voice As you told me that you didn't really have a choice That your mind was pressing deeper down your spine And this can't be God's plan How does it work? Where do we go? Isn't it strange? That we might never really know Is there a reason Under the weight of it all The earth keeps on turning And it doesn't just fall So if you have to go You won't depart alone And I'll be right beside you As we step into the dark And that's the place to start And I'll follow Where you face the stars yeah I'll follow Right into the dark Yeah I'll follow When our time has passed Yeah I'll be right there I'll be right there And I'll follow Where you face the stars yeah I'll follow Right into the dark Yeah I'll follow When our time has passed Yeah I'll be right there I'll be right there So if you have to go You won't depart alone And I'll be right beside you As we step into the dark And that's the place to start
