Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hmm
Hmm
Hmm
[Verse 2]
Hold me like the river Jordan
And I will then say to thee
You were my friend
Carry me like you were my brother
Love me like a mother
Would you be there?
[Verse 3]
Hmm
Hmm
Hmm
Hmm
Hmm
Hmm
[Verse 4]
Weary
Tell me, would you hold me?
When wrong, will you scold me?
When lost will you find me?
[Verse 5]
But they told me a man should be faithful
And walk when not able
And fight till the end
But I'm only human
[Verse 6]
Hmm
Hmm
Hmm
Hmm
Hmm
Hmm
[Verse 7]
Everyone 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 bear me
[Verse 8]
Hold me (Show me)
Lay your head lowly (Show me)
Softly then boldly (Yeah)
Carry me there (I'm only human)
Feed me (Hold me)
Love me and feed me (Me, yeah)
Kiss me and free me (Yeah)
I will feel blessed (I'm only human)
[Verse 9]
Carry (Carry)
Carry me boldly (Carry, yeah)
Lift me up slowly (Yeah)
Carry me there (I'm only human)
Save me (Need be)
Heal me and bathe me (Lift me up, lift me up)
Softly you say to me
I will be there (I will be there)
[Verse 10]
Lift me (Slowly, hey)
Lift me up slowly
Carry me boldly (Yeah)
Show me you care (Yeah, yeah)
Hold me (Woo)
Lay your head lowly (Get lonely sometime)
Softly then boldly (I get lonely)
Yeah, yeah
Carry me there (Carry me there)
Need me (Woo)
Love me and feed me (Lift me up, hold me up)
Kiss me and free me (Lift me up some time, up some time)
I will feel blessed (Yeah)
[Verse 11]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Oh-oh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Oh-oh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
[Verse 12]
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 (Oh)
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
