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.
