You Calm the War in Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some nights the world gets loud, I can't find my way At war with everything, with nothing left to say I never showed it like I should, I kept it locked away But you're the center of my world, the rock that helps me stay [Chorus] Lean on me tonight, the way I've leaned on you When the sky goes dark, I'll carry you through You pulled me from the darkness, you saved my very life Now let me be your shelter, Joyce, my love, my wife [Verse 2] You're my memory when I forget, you calm the storm in me You never needed reasons, you just stood and guarded me No nonsense, straight and honest, loyal to the bone Even when you couldn't understand, you never left me alone [Chorus] Lean on me tonight, the way I've leaned on you When the sky goes dark, I'll carry you through You pulled me from the darkness, you saved my very life Now let me be your shelter, Joyce, my love, my wife [Bridge] I know your faith feels far away, I know the prayers run thin But God can be your friend as well, just let the light back in Forgive the years, forgive the hurt, forgive yourself the most I'll hold you here forever, even when we're ghosts [Verse 3] Look around at what we built, the love that we have sown John, Judy, Janet, JoJo Every one a piece of you, the bravest heart I've known Joyce, you gave us all your strength, now let it lead you home [Chorus] Lean on me tonight, the way I've leaned on you When the sky goes dark, I'll carry you through You pulled me from the darkness, you saved my very life Now let me be your shelter, Joyce, my love, my wife [Outro] My safe place in the storm Lean on me, my love
