I will be the answer 
At the end of the line 
I will be there for you 
While you take the time 
In the burning of uncertainty 
I will be your solid ground 
I will hold the balance 
If you can't look down 
 
If it takes my whole life 
I won't break, I won't bend 
It will all be worth it 
Worth it in the end 
Cause I can only tell you what I know 
That I need you in my life 
When the stars have all gone out 
You'll still be burning so bright 
 
Cast me gently 
Into morning 
For the night has been unkind

Written Text

Every hour an animal is beaten or abused. 
They suffer alone and terrified. 
Waiting for someone to help.
