Kym Tuvim: Listen
I Will
(Kym Tuvim)
I WILL
You don’t ask for enough, you know how to get along
When the going gets tough, you get strong
You don’t ask for enough, but you’re always the one
When the going gets tough
My mother was like that - she knew how to soldier through
Taught me and my sister well
My mother was like that and I guess I am too
When the going gets tough
I will stand up to meet you, cover your weaker side
I will stand up to meet you, cover your side like you’ve covered mine
I was holding my breath waiting for you
To tell me if you were alright
You were silently trembling, your arms wrapped around me
On that warm August night
You’d never feel helpless, given the choice
When you’re used to being so strong
I told you that night you could return the favor
The next time I came undone, and you said
I will stand up to meet you, cover your weaker side
I will stand up to meet you, cover your side, like you’ve covered mine
I will stand here beside you, you won’t go through this alone
I will stand here beside you when you can’t stand on your own
