  1. You're the bravest of hearts

    Tu es le plus courageux des cœurs

    Tu es le plus fort des âmes

  3. You're my light in the dark

    Tu es ma lumière dans l'obscurité

  4. You're the place I call home

    Tu es l'endroit que j'appelle chez moi

  5. You can say it's all right

    Tu peux dire que ça va

  6. But I know that you're breaking up inside

    Mais je sais que tu es en train de t'effondrer à l'intérieur

  7. I see it in your eyes

    Je le vois dans tes yeux

  8. Even you face the night

    Même toi, tu fais face à la nuit

  9. Afraid and alone

    Effrayé et seul

  10. That's why I'll be there

    C'est pourquoi je serai là

  11. When the storm rises up

    When the storm rises up

  12. When the shadows descend

    When the shadows descend

  13. Every beat of my heart

    Every beat of my heart

  14. Every day without end

    Every day without end

  15. Every second I live

    Every second I live

  16. That's the promise I make

  19. If that's what it takes

    If that's what it takes

  20. You can sleep in my arms

    You can sleep in my arms

  21. You don't have to explain

    You don't have to explain

  22. When your heart's crying out

    When your heart's crying out

  23. Baby, whisper my name

    Baby, whisper my name

  24. 'Cause I've reached out for you

    'Cause I've reached out for you

  25. When the thunder is crashing up above

    When the thunder is crashing up above

  26. You've given me your love

    You've given me your love

  27. When you smile like the sun

    When you smile like the sun

  28. That shines through the rain

    That shines through the rain

  29. That's why I'll be there

    That's why I'll be there

  30. When the storm rises up

    When the storm rises up

  31. When the shadows descend

    Quand les ombres descendent

  32. Every beat of my heart

    Chaque battement de mon cœur

  33. Every day without end

    Chaque jour sans fin

  34. I will stand like a rock

    Je me tiendrai comme un roc

  35. I will bend 'til I break

    Je plierai jusqu'à me briser

    Every second I live

  43. That's the promise I make

    That's the promise I make

  44. Baby, that's what I'll give

    Baby, that's what I'll give

  45. If that's what it takes

    If that's what it takes

  46. Through the wind and the rain

    Through the wind and the rain

  47. Through the smoke and the fire

    Through the smoke and the fire

  48. When the fear rises up

    When the fear rises up

  49. When the wave's ever higher

    When the wave's ever higher

  50. I will lay down my heart

    I will lay down my heart

  51. My body, my soul

    Mon corps, mon âme

  52. I will hold on all night

    Je tiendrai toute la nuit

  61. If that's what it takes

    If that's what it takes

  62. Oh ooh

    Oh ooh

  63. Whatever, whatever it takes

    Whatever, whatever it takes
