I hope you woke up this morning,

and even if it's hiding behind

this ice rain they call midwest winter

I want you to remember the sun is still there

 

and even if you forget that your heart

is pounding strong against your chest

it's still going to be there

when you lay flat in bed

and feel like you can't breathe

 

I want you to realize

even if I'm a hundred thousand miles away

I'd start running the second you said you were falling apart

 

and if you ever decide that the world has become too heavy

and you'd rather drop it on it's side and let it roll along

without you

 

please let me know

 

because although you've got the whole world

in your hands,

I'll be holding yours up.

 

so now I have the whole world in mine.
