I LOVE music and I have it playing in the background as I work most of the time. I have several playlists to choose from, and this particular song is on several of them. Why? Because it is a reflection of why I do what I do. To help people feel seen, heard, and to know they matter in this big beautiful, and messy world. I hope you take the time to listen to it.
So Will I – Ben Platt
You say, “What if I go crazy?”
I say, “That ain’t gonna happen”
You say, “What if I get lost?
I say, “You’ll just find your way back”
And you say, “What if someone breaks my heart?”
I’ll put it back together like I do
You say, “What if I don’t catch the dreams
That I’ve been out there chasing?”
“What if when my fears show up, I’m too afraid to face them?”
Well, I can’t fight your battles
But I sure can hold your hand and promise you
That the sky will still be up there
And the sun will always shine
The stars will keep on fallin’
For the ones who wish at night
The mountains won’t start moving
And the rivers won’t run dry
The world will always be there
And so will I
(Will I, will I)
(Will I, will I)
You say, “What if things start changing?”
I say, “We’ll be changing with them”
We’ll just sing a different melody
And dance a different rhythm
You say, “What if I give up?”
I say, “That is one thing I’ll never let you do
“You say, “What if someone leaves me
And they leave me empty-handed?”
I say, “Losing only teaches you to not take things for granted”
No, I can’t just bring ’em back
But darling, I can hold your hand and promise you
That the sky will still be up there
And the sun will always shine
The stars will keep on fallin’
For the ones who wish at night
The mountains won’t start moving
And the rivers won’t run dry
The world will always be there
And so will I
So will I, I
(Will I, will I)
Oh I (will I, will I)
And so will I (will I, will I),
I Oh I (will I, will I),
I And so will I
(So will I, so will I) I
(So will I, so will I)
Even if the sky is fallin’
And the sun don’t wanna shine
If the stars we used to wish on disappear into the night
Well, I can move a mountain
But only by your side
Just say you’ll always be there
I know you’ll always be there
And so will I
