Pillar

When your hands are shaking

And the ground won’t hold you still

When the night comes down like thunder

And you’ve lost the strength to will

You don’t have to hide the pieces

You don’t have to stand alone

Put the weight upon my shoulders

I’ll help you carry it home

I may bend beneath the pressure

I may feel the cracks inside

But if you need somewhere to shelter

I’ll be standing by your side

I will be your pillar

When your walls begin to fall

When the world becomes too heavy

You don’t have to hold it all

Lean on me when you’re weary

When you’ve given all you can

I don’t have to be unbreakable

I just have to help you stand

I’ve been holding up the ceiling

While my own heart learns to heal

I’ve smiled through storms in silence

So no one sees what I feel

But maybe strength is not pretending

That the hurting isn’t there

Maybe strength is choosing kindness

When you’ve got your own to bear

So if your hope is barely breathing

If your faith is running thin

I’ll remind you of the fighter

That you’ve always been within

I will be your pillar

When your walls begin to fall

When the world becomes too heavy

You don’t have to hold it all

Lean on me when you’re weary

When you’ve given all you can

I don’t have to be unbreakable

I just have to help you stand

And someday I might stumble

Someday I might need you too

Even pillars need a shoulder

Even strong hearts break in two

So when my hands start shaking

When I’m tired from standing tall

Promise you’ll remind me

I don’t have to hold it all

We were never meant for carrying

Every burden on our own

Strength was never standing lonely

Strength is knowing you’re not alone

We can be each other’s pillars

When our walls begin to fall

When this life becomes too heavy

We don’t have to hold it all

Lean on me when you’re weary

I’ll lean on you when I can’t stand

We don’t have to be unbreakable

We just have to take a hand

So bring me all your broken pieces

You don’t have to hide them anymore

And if someday mine come falling

We’ll build each other stronger than before

We don’t have to be unbreakable…

We just have to stand

Together.
