I Just Want Someone To Hold Me

i just want someone to hold me
someone to tell me "it's okay"
a hand to stoke my hair and to 
touch my face, wipe my tears

i just want someone to hold me
someone who won't say "bad"
or "why did you do that?"
a soft lap, a warm body

i just want someone to hold me
tell me i'm special
that no one can hurt me
there is no one like me

i just want someone to hold me
to rock me in a gentle rhythm
sing of flowers and butterflies
show me how beautiful life can be

when it hurts so much to 
be afraid of living

when sadness takes over
and all is gray

when i am so lonely
it is nothing

i just want someone 
out there 
every once in a while
to hold me
