Intro
Verse 1
Hold me, like the River Jordan,
And I will then say to thee; you are my friend.
Verse 2
Carry me, like you are my brother,
Love me like a mother; will you be there?
Interlude
Verse 3
When weary, tell me; will you hold me?
When wrong will you scold me; when lost, will you find me?
Verse 4
But they told me; a man should be faithful,
And walk when not able,
And fight 'till the end, but I'm only human.
Interlude
Middle 8
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?
Coda
(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).
(Carry, carry me boldly,
Lift me up slowly; carry me there.
Save me, heal me, and bathe me,
Softly, you say to me; I will be there).
(Lift me, lift me up slowly,
Carry me boldly; show me you care.
Hold me, lay your head lowly,
Softly then boldly; carry me there).
(Need me, love me and feed me,
(Kiss me and free me; I will feel blessed)...
