I've fought battles nobody could see,
Smiled through days that got the best of me.
I built these walls stone by stone
Just to keep this heart beating strong
Then you walked in without a sound,
And somehow turned my whole world up side down
You don't carry a shield or a gun,
But somehow I know we've already won.
When you're near me,
I'm Standing with an army
Every doubt surrenders,
Every fear retreats.
One touch from your hand
Makes me believe
Nothing in this world
Can stand against me.
When you're near me,
I'm stronger than I'll ever be.
I've seen storms flip the world up side down
Watched good people hit the cold hard ground.
But your faith is a fire that burns inside
A steady flame in changing skies.
You don't have to say a word,
Your love is the loudest thing I've heard.
You don't wear a soldier's name,
But you fight for me just the same.
When you're near me,
I'm Standing with an army
Every doubt surrenders,
Every fear retreats.
One touch from your hand
Makes me believe
Nothing in this world
Can stand against me.
When you're near me,
I'm stronger than I'll ever be.
If tomorrow brings another war,
I'll walk right through that open door.
'Cause courage isn't what I own—
It's what you give when I'm in doubt
When you're near me,
I feel like I'm
Standing with an army
No mountain's too high,
No current too strong
With your heart beside mine,
There's no defeat.
When you're near me,
I'm stronger than I've ever known
