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).

Repeat to fade.
