Hold me Like the River Jordan And I will then say to thee You are my friend
Carry me Like you are my brother Love me like a mother Will you be there?
When weary Tell me will you hold me When wrong, will you scold me? When lost will you find me?
But they told me A man should be faithful And walk when not able And fight till the end But I'm only human
Everyone's taking control of me Seems that the world's got a role for me I'm so confused, will you show to me? You'll be there for me? And care enough to bear me?
(Hold me) Show me (Lay your head lowly) Lowly (Softly then boldly) Yeah (Carry me there) I'm only a human
(Lead me) Hold me (Love me and feed me) Yeah, yeah (Kiss me and free me) Yeah (I will feel blessed) I'm only a human
(Carry) Carry (Carry me boldly) Carry (Lift me up slowly) Yeah (Carry me there) I'm only a human
(Save me) Lead me (Heal me and bathe me) Lift me up, lift me up (Softly you'll say to me) (I will be there) I'll be there
(Lift me) Hold me, yeah (Lift me up slowly) (Carry me boldly) Yeah (Show me you care) I'll be there
(Hold me) (Lay your head lowly) I get lonely sometimes (Softly then boldly) I get lonely, yeah, yeah (Carry me there) Carry me there
(Need me) (Love me and feed me) Lift me up, hold me up (Kiss me and free me) Lift me up sometime, up sometime (I will feel blessed) Yeah
In our darkest hour In my deepest despair Will you still care? Will you be there?
In my trials And my tribulations Through our doubts And frustrations
In my violence In my turbulence Through my fear And my confessions
In my anguish and my pain Through my joy and my sorrow In the promise of another tomorrow I'll never let you part For you're always in my heart
