Lead Me

Please take my hands and lead me,
Lead me somewhere far way from here.
Only you can lighten my darkness,
Only you can quell the fear.

Please take my hands and lead me,
Lead me to some quiet place.
Only your touch can calm me,
Only you can fill the space.

Please take my hands and lead me,
Lead me somewhere you can hold me tight.
Only you can hold me,
Only your touch gets me through the night.

Please take my hands and lead me,
Lead me somewhere to whisper my name.
Only your voice can reach me,
Only you words can kill the shame.

Please take my hands and lead me,
Lead me somewhere new.
Only you can save me,
And only I can save you.
