I might have taken the long way home
If you not let me had lead the way
I might have been on my own too long
But I found you and I'd like you to stay
You gave my soul meaning
And you taught me to be alive
And boy I got to thinkin'
I really want to thank you
You've givin' me the will to survive

I'm not afraid of the long cruel nights
When the wind is blowin' at my door
I'm not afraid of the black or white
Or the feelings I was hiding before
But your love has givin' something more
Than any one thing, it got me how to really be sure
Boy you've opened my eyes
Now I'm not afraid anymore

You were the one that believed in me
When I was living in a world of my own
You're the reason that I am free
When I think of you I am never alone
I use to be a dreamer
Who never had a dream alive
Boy I got to thinkin', I really want to thank you
You giving me the will to survive

I'm not afraid of the long cruel nights
When the wind is blowin' at my door
I'm not afraid of the black or white
Or the feelings I was hiding before
But your love has givin' something more
Than any one thing, it got me how to really be sure
Boy you've opened up my eyes
Now I'm not afraid anymore

Your love has givin' something more
Than any one thing, it got me how to really be sure
Boy you've opened up my eyes
Now I'm not afraid anymore
I'm not afraid of the long cruel nights

When the wind is blowin' at my door
I'm not afraid of the black or white
Or the feelings I was hiding before
But your love has givin' something more
Than any one thing, it got me how to really be sure
Boy you've opened my eyes
Now I'm not afraid anymore
