I had no idea the words of this song for so long and a few weeks ago I actually sat and listened to it... needed clarification on a few lines and this is what I found.. a song of devotion.. I and I devote this to all my friends ..
no matter what no matter what goes on in my life I want you to know I will be there for you
you are all dear and precious to me..
................................

I will be the answer
At the end of the line
I will be there for you
While you take the time
In the burning of uncertainty
I will be your solid ground
I will hold the balance
If you can't look down

If it takes my whole life
I won't break, I won't bend
It will all be worth it
Worth it in the end
‘Cause I can only tell you what I know
That I need you in my life
And when the stars have all gone out
You'll still be burning so bright

Cast me gently
Into morning
For the night has been unkind
Take me to a
A place so holy
That I can wash this from my mind
The memory of choosing not to fight

If it takes my whole life
I won't break, I won't bend
It will all be worth it
Worth it in the end
‘Cause I can only tell you what I know
That I need you in my life
And when the stars have all burned out
You'll still be burning so bright

Cast me gently
Into morning
For the night has been unkind
