[Intro: All]
I'll be the one
[Verse 1: AJ]
I guess you were lost when I met you
Still there were tears in your eyes
So out of trust and I knew
No more than mysteries and lies
[Pre-Chorus: Brian]
There you are, wild and free
Reaching out like you needed me
A helping hand to make it right
I am holding you all through the night
[Chorus: All]
I'll be the one (I'll be the one)
Who will make all your sorrows undone
I'll be the light (I'll be the light)
When you feel like there's nowhere to run
I'll be the one
[Verse 2: Nick]
To hold you
And make sure that you'll be alright
'Cause my faith is gone
And I want to take you from darkness to light
[Pre-Chorus: AJ]
There you are, wild and free
Reaching out like you needed me
A helping hand to make it right
I am holding you all through the night
[Chorus: All]
I'll be the one (I'll be the one)
Who will make all your sorrows undone
I'll be the light (I'll be the light)
When you feel like there's nowhere to run
I'll be the one
[Refrain: Nick]
To hold you
And make sure that you'll be alright
[Bridge: Brian]
You need me like I need you
We can share our dreams coming true
I can show you what true love means
Just take me hand, baby please
[Middle 8: All]
I'll be the one, I'll be the light
Where you can run to make it alright
I'll be the one, I'll be the light
Where you can run
[Chorus: All]
I'll be the one (I'll be the one)
Who will make all your sorrows undone
I'll be the light (I'll be the light)
When you feel like there's nowhere to run
I'll be the one
[Middle 8: All]
I'll be the one, I'll be the light
Where you can run to make it alright
I'll be the one, I'll be the light
Where you can run to make it alright
I'll be the one
[Refrain: Nick]
To hold you
And make sure that you will be alright
[Outro: AJ]
I'll be the one
I'll be the one
[Verse 1: AJ]
I guess you were lost when I met you
Still there were tears in your eyes
So out of trust and I knew
No more than mysteries and lies
[Pre-Chorus: Brian]
There you are, wild and free
Reaching out like you needed me
A helping hand to make it right
I am holding you all through the night
[Chorus: All]
I'll be the one (I'll be the one)
Who will make all your sorrows undone
I'll be the light (I'll be the light)
When you feel like there's nowhere to run
I'll be the one
[Verse 2: Nick]
To hold you
And make sure that you'll be alright
'Cause my faith is gone
And I want to take you from darkness to light
[Pre-Chorus: AJ]
There you are, wild and free
Reaching out like you needed me
A helping hand to make it right
I am holding you all through the night
[Chorus: All]
I'll be the one (I'll be the one)
Who will make all your sorrows undone
I'll be the light (I'll be the light)
When you feel like there's nowhere to run
I'll be the one

To hold you

Where you can run to make it alright
I'll be the one
[Refrain: Nick]
To hold you
And make sure that you will be alright
