You say you're afraid of being alone.
You can't do a thing on your own.
You don't know where to get the courage
To overcome those fears that bother you.
I sensed that you needed somebody,
And now I'm here to fill that somebody,
Never to leave you alone
So you can stand on your own.
Remember what I've told you,
That fear is only in the mind.
I believe that you can make it, just like me...
Because, for once, I'm also afraid,
And I don't know where to get the strength
To overcome my weakness.
Now I am brave enough to stand beside you.
Yes, I am brave enough...
Maybe you'll ask, "Why are you brave enough?"
My answer is simple and true:
"I'm brave enough because of you."
