Lyrics
Think about, ehm, the generations and
Say we wanna make it a better place for our children
And our children's children, so that they
They, they, they know it's a better world for them
And think if they can make it a better place
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?
Everyone's taking control 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
(Hold me) Hold me
(Lay your head lowly) Told me
(Softly then boldly) Yeah
(Carry me there) I'm only human
(Lift me) Hold me
(Love me and feed me)
(Kiss me and free me) Yeah
(I will feel blessed) I'm only human
(Carry) Carry
(Carry me boldly) Carry
(Lift me up slowly) Yeah
(Carry me there) I'm only human
(Save me) Feed me
(Heal me and bathe me) Lift me up, lift me up
(Softly you say to me)
(I will be there) I will be there
(Lift me) Told me
(Lift me up slowly)
(Carry me boldly) Yeah
(Show me you care) Will you be there?
(Hold me) Whoa
(Lay your head lowly) It gets lonely sometimes
(Softly then boldly) I get lonely, yeah, yeah
(Carry me there) Carry me there
(Need me) Whoa
(Love me and feed me) Lift me up, hold me up
(Kiss me and free me) Lift me up sometimes, up sometimes
(I will feel blessed) Yeah
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
Writer(s): Michael Joe Jackson
