EMBRACING PORTLAND

I am humbled

Wonder-struck again

Every time I stumble

I'm righted by a friend

You were needed 

Were right there for me

So I grabbed your lifeline

And you pulled me free

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I sense the darkness trying to hold me tight

You feel it too, and pull with all your might

Tell me not to let go, it will be alright

Yeah, I'm embracing Portland tonight

~~*~~

You're the water

Yeah, you end my thirst

When life's a barren field

Full of rocks and dirt

So unselfish

There to help me out

My ladder from the pit

Brimming with fear and doubt

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

I'm embracing Portland

She's my champion now

Defeated hesitation

Yeah, she struck it down

I will run with winds

Over hallowed ground

echo....hallowed ground...

It can be done

Embracing Portland

~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I sense the darkness trying to hold me tight

You feel it too, and pull with all your might

Tell me not to let go, it will be alright

Yeah, I'm embracing Portland tonight
