Hold onto me
when your tired heart
needs a place to rest
for my arms will shelter you.
Hold onto me 
when confusion swirls all around
and my steadfast love 
will help you recenter yourself.
Hold onto me
when the pain is the hardest
and I will sit with your tears.
Hold onto me
when your heart is light and 
we can shed tears of joy together.

Hold onto me 
when you're in need of a friend and
know I'll always be there.
And if ever you're too weary 
to hold on at all
know that my heart
tenderly holds you
till you can reach out again.
