[Verse 1]
We made the distance
Yeah, we made the day
You made all the difference
'Cause you found the way
Without your wisdom
Lord, where would we be?
Lost in the wilderness
Somewhere out at sea

[Chorus]
But you were there through the days of wine and madness
When I'd always put you down
You were there through my joys and my sadness
And you never let me down

[Verse 2]
You found the meaning
And helped me to see
Where I was going to
All that I could be
Without permission
You turned the key
You climbed the prison wall
Deep inside of me

[Chorus][x2]

[Outro][x3]
You were there
