Where there was darkness
You came and now there’s
An abundance of light
Nothing but sinkin’ sand
Suddenly I reach out
There’s your hand

What a feeling it is to know
You’re in my corner
And you won’t let me go
And now I know that
I won’t be alone no more

I’ll give you all I have
And if you teach me
I will learn to give you more

You are my anchor now
And like a ship at sea
Ooh, your love will steady me

What a feeling this is to know
You’re in my corner
And you won’t let me go
And now I know that
I won’t be alone no more

I’m so glad
Just wanna thank you baby
What a feeling this is to know
You’re in my corner
And you won’t let me go
What a feeling this is to know
You’re in my corner
And you won’t let me go
What a feeling this is to know
You’re in my corner
And you won’t let me go
Thank you baby
What a feeling this is to know
You’re in my corner
And you won’t let me go
