Strong Enough

Are you strong enough to take my hand
and raise up off your knees
you think that no one understands
but that's what sets you free
I know you're hurting deep inside
and I'm here to let you know
the sadness that you try to hide
is what you must let go
dont be afraid to call upon 
a friend when you're in need
I'll be there so you can hold on
to heal the wounds that bleed
you weren't alone on many days
you felt too weak to stand
it was me who washed away
the many thoughts you wrote in sand
