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)...
