WALK WITH ME
If you're
alone it need not be.
Take my hand and
walk with me.
Walk with me, by
my side:
Not for me
to be your guide,
For where
you're bound, I do not know
and the
way is not mine to show.
I won't
promise to follow you;
It may be
more than I can do.
Walk
with me while we wait:
Not that
you might bear my freight;
If I don't
lift it I'll grow frail
and that
will cause me to fail.
I am able
to perform my task,
and
sometimes more, if you ask.
Walk with me, even in rain:
We can't
take the other's pain;
But you
can know that I care.
Not to
gain in worldly fare,
but for
the feelings that we share,
and to
know someone is there.
Walk with
me as a brother:
That we'll
understand each other;
Not to
listen to me preach
And surely
not for me to teach;
And if we
help, it's from desire,
Not from
duty, and not for hire.
Walk with
me as a friend:
Not to
promise until time's end.
Not to
possess, for you're not mine
but we'll
walk together, down the line.
When you
need me, there I'll be
Would you
not do as much for me?
If you are
down, I'll help you stand;
So reach
out, friend, and take my hand
and
walk with me in this beautiful land.
Reach out friend, take my hand.
