Take My Hand.
Take my hand, will you?
Of a free will I offer it
Walk with me, please do
By my side, I bid you sit
Take my hand, will you not?
I will walk with you
Across that bridge
Yea, that of lonesome doubt
Now you are weary
To carry you I ought
I bring not much clout
Only a resolve so stout
Floundering in rain, snow and hail
Your strength, your wisdom, they fail
Here, take my hand
Together we will stand
An island you cannot ever be
We are never alone
Though we wade in these murk
These dark waters unending
You are sinking fast partner
Grab a proferred hand
And another day
Witness
Ignorant I am not of your story
Surely, it is horrid, squalid andgory
Your untold tale of woe and treachery
You poor victim of an uncanny sin
Winds, storms, they billow
Beleagured by their vehement roll
Trust me, I know
Life drags on, and we but keep in tow
Count on me, you need somebody
I ain't much but a friend
I'd lend a hand
Should you find mine worthy
Push on!
Here's my shoulder, use my back
I'm right behind you
And I'm no fiend
We are in this together
In cold nights and stormy weather
Here we'll wait,
'Til help comes from up high
In the mean
Take my hand
Out of the nadir
We'll both rise.
