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).
