(verso 1)
D
 Hold me,
         Em/D  D
Like the River Jordan,
    Em/D        D
And I will then say to thee;
Em/D        D       Em/D
 You are my friend.

(verso 2)
D
 Carry me,
     Em/D       D
Like you are my brother,
Em/D            D
 Love me like a mother,
Em/D         D      Em/D
 Will you be there?

(verso 3)
     D
When weary,
     Em/D        D
Tell me will you hold me?
     Em/D           D
When wrong will you scold me;
     Em/D          D    Em/D
When lost will you find me?

(verso 4)
         D
But they told me;
  Em/D          D
A man should be faithful,
    Em/D          D
And walk when not able,
Em/D                 D
 And fight 'till the end,
                Em/D
But I'm only human.

F
 Everyone's,
Eb          D
 Taking con-trol of me,
F               Eb
 Seems that the world's,
      D
Got a role for me.
F           Eb
 I'm so confused,
         D
Will you show to me;
You'll be,
          C
You'll be there for me,
    A
And care enough to bear me?
