Intro: (x16) 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? 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: (x16) Middle 8: Everyone's taking con-trol of me, Seems that the world's got a role for me. I'm so confused; will you show to me; You'll be there for me, and care enough to bear me? *KEY CHANGE* ------------ 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). *KEY CHANGE* ------------ (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). *KEY CHANGE* ------------ (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). (Repeat to Fade)
