Lyrics
I know you're weary
Tired of being strong
I know it feels like
You can't go on
Rain keeps falling
Rivers get high
Your heart is all full of
All the tears you cry
Just let go
Set your troubles free
(Set them free)
Don't escape, hold on to me
Get on my shoulders
I'll carry you through
The deepest of darkness
The bluest of blues
Get on my shoulders
Don't worry no more (more)
That's why I'm here (here)
That's what the Lord (Lord)
Made these shoulders for
I don't know your secrets
Or anything you've done
But I know what a day
To love someone
So trust me when I tell you
I'm here because I care
Wherever you wanna go
I can take you there
You see, sometimes
All we need is a friend
(Needs a friend)
Someone to reach out
And take us by the hand
Get on my shoulders
I'll carry you through
The deepest of darkness (darkness)
The bluest of blues (blues)
Get on my shoulders
Don't worry no more (more)
That's why I'm here (here)
That's what the Lord (Lord)
Made these shoulders for
Writer(s): Ian Barter, John Kirkland Reid
