  Hold me, like the River Jordan,
   GT
 And I will then say to thee; you are my friend.
 GT
  Carry me, like you are my brother,
 GT
  Love me like a mother; will you be there?

   GT
 When weary, tell me; will you hold me?
   GT
 When wrong will you scold me; when lost, will you find me?
   GT
 But they told me; a man should be faithful,
 And walk  when not able,
  GT
 And fight 'till the end, but I'm only human.
 GT , ,  GT ,  (x2)
 Everyone's taking  con-trol  of me,
 Seems that the world's  got a  role for me.
 I'm so con-fused;  will you show  to me;
 You'll be there  for me, and care  enough to bear me?
 (Hold me, lay  your head lowly,
 Softly, then boldly; carry  me  there.
 Lead me, love  me and feed  me,
 Kiss me and  free me;  I will feel  blessed).
 Repeat to fade.
