i turn [to you]...

[Natalie Amelia Summers]

[open]

It was late. Miley was at the lawns. Doing nothing at all. She was gazing up at the stars. There was a song in her head with no words. It was a beautiful melody. She began humming it. Then BAM! It hit her. Some words for that song. If only she had some inspiration for it. She had three words but then they began expanding into much lengthier words and sentences and she had a song.

Small trickles of rain started to drop and she saw all the students run for cover. But not her, she stayed on. Rain was a blessing. The raindrops began to make her wet and she loved every drop of it. It was something she has never done before. And in these troubled times, she needed something to cheer her up. She stood up and looked up at the starry night sky and she closed her eyes. She was spinning as she sang her newly composed song. It was perfect.

When I'm lost in the rain,
In your eyes I know I'll find the light to light my way.
And when I'm scared and losing ground;
When my world is going crazy, you can turn it all around.

And when I'm down you're there; pushing me to the top.
You're always there; giving me all you've got.

For a shield from the storm;
For a friend; for a love
To keep me safe and warm,
I turn to you.
For the strength to be strong;
For the will to carry on;
For everything you do;
For everything that's true,
I turn to you.

When I lose my will to win,
I just reach for you and I can reach the sky again.
I can do anything,
'Cause your love is so amazing; 'cause your love inspires me.

And when I need a friend, you're always on my side;
Giving me faith that gets me through the night.

For a shield from the storm;
For a friend; for a love
To keep me safe and warm,
I turn to you.
For the strength to be strong;
For the will to carry on;
For everything you do;
For everything that's true,
I turn to you.

For the arms to be my shelter through all the rain;
For truth that will never change;
For someone to lean on;
for a heart I can rely on through anything;
For that one who I can run to....
I turn to you.

For a shield from the storm;
For a friend; for a love
To keep me safe and warm,
I turn to you.
For the strength to be strong;
For the will to carry on;
For everything you do;
For everything that's true,
I turn to you.

For a shield from the storm;
For a friend; for a love
To keep me safe and warm,
I turn to you.
For the strength to be strong;
For the will to carry on;
For everything you do;
For everything that's true...

For everything you do;
For everything that's true,
I turn to you...
