  • When the fire inside that burns so bright begins to grow faded
    It can be hard to see the ground on which you stand
    Though you may not be afraid of walking in the darkness
    You will feel like a stranger in this land

    You can try to carve a faith out of your own
    But a broken spirit may dry out the bone
    And the edges of the night may cause you sorrow
    You know I may not be around this time tomorrow
    But I'll always be with you
    Yeah, I'll always be with you

    When the hope that you hold tightly to has all but vanished
    And there are no words of comfort to be found
    You will know what it means to be lost and without love
    May you fight to kill that deafening sound

    But our holy dreams of yesterday aren't gone
    They still haunt us like the ghosts of Babylon
    And the breaking of the day might bring you sorrow
    You know I may not be around this time tomorrow
    But I'll always be with you
    I'll always be with you

    Ooh-ooh
    Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
    Ooh-ooh-ooh

    You can try to carve a faith out of your own
    But a broken spirit may dry out the bone
    And the edges of the night may cause you sorrow
    You know I may not be around this time tomorrow

    But our holy dreams of yesterday aren't gone
    They still haunt us like the ghosts of Babylon
    And the breaking of the day might bring you sorrow
    You know I may not be around this time tomorrow
    But I'll always be with you
    I will always be with you
    I'll always be with you
    I'll always be with you Writer/s: Brandi Carlile, Phil Hanseroth, Tim Hanseroth

  • Superhero Corgi from Planet EarthBrandi and the Twins actually played this song live to audiences several months before the Colbert show during their summer tour. I believe the live debut was in Queens on July 23 at Forest Hills.
