Hold my branch, through time
Rhyme with honest lines
Watch my back, I'll watch yours
Stand with me in the storms
Strengthen me when I'm down
Understand my flaws
Control your emotions
Trust me, I'll trust you
In the heat of a fight
No one knows who's right
Don't use words to fright
After dark comes light
If you're still in sight
After the deadly storms
I know you are one
