C
She got the call today
G/B
One out of the gray
Am
And when the smoke cleared
G
It took her breath away
C
She said she didn't believe
G/B
It could happen to me
Am                      G
I guess we're all one phone call
           F
from our knees
G
We're gonna get there soon
C
If every building falls
G/B
And all the stars fade
Am
We'll still be singing this song
    G
The one they can't take away

F
I'm gonna get there soon
G
She's gonna be there too
Am
Cryin' in her room
Em                   F
Prayin' Lord come through

We're gonna get there soon

Oh it's your life
Oh it's your way

Pull me out of the dark
Just to show me the way

Cryin out now
From so far away

You pull me closer to love
            F C G
Closer to love

Meet me once again
Down off Lake Michigan
Where we could feel the storm blowing down
with the wind
And don't apologize
For all the tears you've cried
You've been way too strong now for all your life
We're gonna get there soon
She's gonna be there too
Cryin' in her room
Prayin' Lord come through
We're gonna get there soon

Chorus:
Oh, it's your light
Oh, it's your way
Pull me out of the dark
Just to show me the way
Cryin' out now
From so far away
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love

You are all that I've waited for

All of my life
