                                        When you feel like no one understands you
                                        I will, I will
                                        When you think no love can ever heal you
                                        Mine will, mine will

                                        And when you feel like you're invisible
                                        And no one sees you at all

Songwriters: Diane Warren and Niccolò
Agliardi                                You'll always have someone who will protect you
