Ars Poetica (Mecum omnes plangite)

"Hold me
Like the river Jordan
And I will then say to thee
You are my friend

Carry me
Like you are my brother
Love me like a mother
Will you be there?

Weary
Tell me will you hold me?
When wrong, will you scold me?
When lost, will you find me?

But they told me
A man should be faithful
And walk when not able
And fight 'til the end
But I'm only human

Everyone's taking control of me
Seems that the world's
Got a role for me
I'm so confused
Will you show it to me?
You'll be there for me
And care enough to bare 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  

Carry  
Carry me boldly  
Lift me up slowly 
Carry me there  

Save me
Heal me and bath me
Softly you say to me
I will be there  

Lift me (don't leave)
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

 
In our darkest hour
In my deepest despair
Will you still care?
Will you be there?
In my trials
And my tribulations
Through our doubts
And frustrations
In my violence
In my turbulence
Through my fear
And my confessions
In my anguish and my pain
Through my joy and my sorrow
In the promise of another tomorrow
I'll never let you part
For you're always in my heart"
