Foothold
You're so pale and your walk stutters
with all the loads you carry on your shoulders.
Don't be so shy to let it show,
'cause I just want you to know:
When the whole world seems to grapple you down,
and your feet could hardly hold their ground,
I'll be right there, waiting on your doorsteps,
to help you set the track of your footsteps.
I'm your guardian angel, I'll always be around.
I'll be the grip of your feet on the ground.
I'll be your guide on a winding, devious way.
I'll be the safe place where you can stay.
