if i was dependin' on you

if i was dependin' on you
to bring me up from darkness
would you be there?
to help when i'm in need
would you be there?
when i can't see the sunshine
or would you just let me be?

if i was dependin' on you
to take me in and calm me
would you open the door?
would you let me come inside?
would you open your home?
to someone sad and lonely
or would you just let me cry?

(chorus)
always in the sweetest days i see you
nothing seems to block you out of sight
but when the wheels of life go turnin'
would you still be there?
to share some of your light

if i was dependin' on you
to bring me consolation
could you find the words?
to make me feel alright
would you open your heart?
to a soul who's tired of losing
or would you just walk on by?
