It`s That`s What You Need — текст песни (Genesis)

Talking makes us human that`s what I was told
So why do I find it so difficult to let my feelings unfold
Had I the courage to tell you I`d promise you this

If that`s what you need
I`ll be the river I`ll be the mountain always beside you
If that`s 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 wouldn`t tell you
Until we stood on solid ground
Holding the candle between us I`ll tell you this

If that`s what you need
I`ll be the river I`ll be the mountain always beside you
If that`s what you need
I will be stronger I will be braver than ever before

And if there`s 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 of the problems were mine
Holding you nearer to me to tell you this

If that`s what you need
I`ll be the river I`ll be the mountain always beside you
If that`s what you need
I will be stronger I will be braver than ever before
And when things go wrong
I`ll be your conscience there to remind you all of your life
When you go wrong
I`ll be the reason you`ll be protected all of your days
