Will you think that you're all alone
When no one's there to hold your hand?
When all you know seems so far away
And everything is temporary, rest your head
I'm permanent
I'm permanent

Is this the moment where I look you in the eye?
Forgive my broken promise that you'll never see me cry
And everything, it will surely change even if I tell you I won't go away today
Will you think that you're all alone
When no one's there to hold your hand?
And all you know seems so far away and everything is temporary
Rest your head
I'm permanent

I know he's living in hell every single day
And so I ask, oh God is there some way for me to take his place
And when they say it's all touch and go
I wish I could make it go away
But still you say
Will you think that you're all alone
When no one's there to hold your hand?
When all you know seems so far away
And everything is temporary,
Rest your head
I'm permanent

I'm permanent

Is the moment where I look you in the eye?
Forgive my broken promise that you'll never see me cry.

    it sounds almost like a conversation between david and his brother, and his brother is worried, not for himself, but for david, because he won't be there to support his baby brother like he always has been. so he's reassuring david that he'll always be there, in spirit if not in person. and then it switches to david, who sees the suffering his brother goes through and wishes he could make it go away or even switch places with him, but his brother is still saying that no matter what happens, it'll be okay. david isn't at peace with things but his brother is, and david was so moved and inspired he wrote a song.
