The Extra Mile Lyrics

It may be a phone call late at night That wakes my heart and brings me to my knees It could be the hurt that's in your eyes That shakes my soul from all complacency Oh, I want you to know, That I will be the one who prays for you It may be the presence of your past That haunts your very will to believe It may seem the weight of all the world Has crushed your dreams and laid them at your feet Oh, I want you to know, That I will be a friend to see you through For I will walk the extra mile When the road ahead seems long I will share those lonely silent nights That pass without a song, knowing the darkness Is but for a little while For you my friend, I will walk, I will walk the extra mile It may be the mention of your name That brings a smile into my busy day It could be a place we've been before That echoes all the tender words you'd say Oh, I want you to know That I have never had af riend like you And though the miles create a distance That keeps us worlds apart There's a road you walk each day That travels through my heart For you, my friend, I will walk, I will walk the extra mile
