I promise this, I'll never take you for granted
Without a kiss I knew you're all that I wanted
You walk into the room and in a word you own it
I couldn't move I was locked into the moment

Whoa-oh, oh-oh, whoa
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, whoa

And from the stage I was like the heavens open
I felt the world shifting gears into slow motion
You justified a dream I always carried with me
Just when I'd given up, your love swooped in to lift me up

Whoa-oh, oh-oh, whoa
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, whoa
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, whoa
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, whoa

Don't be afraid when the waves get too tall
Or when this noisy world makes you feel small
I'll be there... to carry you... to safety

I was a seagull wondering the lonely beaches
Now I'm an eagle soaring to your upper reaches
Not very long ago you were a total stranger
Now suddenly you are, real life changer

Whoa-oh, oh-oh, whoa
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, whoa
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, whoa
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, whoa

Don't be afraid when the waves get too tall
The wind is cold and the snow starts to fall
I'll be there... to carry you... to safety

Don't be afraid when the waves get too tall
Or when this noisy world makes you feel small
Don't be afraid when the waves get too tall
The wind is cold and the snow starts to fall
I'll be there... to carry you... to safety

Whoa-oh, oh-oh, whoa
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, whoa
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, whoa
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, whoa
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, whoa
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, whoa
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, whoa
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, whoa
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, whoa
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, whoa
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, whoa
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, whoa
