If Thats What You Need — текст песни (Genesis)

Talking makes us human thats what I was told

So why do I find it so difficult to let my feelings unfold

Had I the courage to tell you Id promise you this



If thats what you need

Ill be the river Ill be the mountain always beside you

If thats what you need

I will be stronger I will be braver than ever before



When you came along and turned it all around

I promised myself I wouldnt tell you

Until we stood on solid ground

Holding the candle between us Ill tell you this



If thats what you need

Ill be the river Ill be the mountain always beside you

If thats what you need

I will be stronger I will be braver than ever before



And if theres any kind of danger

I hear you calling out my name

You can follow in my footsteps

And I will lead you safely back again



I never understood you however hard I tried

But it took me a while until I realised

That all the problems were mine

Holding you nearer to me to tell you this



If thats what you need

Ill be the river Ill be the mountain always beside you

If thats what you need

I will be stronger I will be braver than ever before

And when things go wrong

Ill be your conscience there to remind you all of your life

When you go wrong

Ill be the reason youll be protected all of your days
