I'll willingly be your beacon of light.
A shoulder to cry on, and lean on.
Should you need me, you've got...
a faithful wingman
to muddle through life with.
Never paddle your canoe far into
the turbulent, lonely sea
of "I'll mind my business."
Together we'll navigate through
any stormy sea. Your fears are mine.
Whatever hurts you is also my pain.
Whatever makes your heart dance
Is also my joy. Your struggles
and troubles, mine. Your burden
gigantic or infinitesimal, also mine...
to shoulder. Never feel as if you walk...
the razor's edge alone. You've got me.
The towering mountain before you
Is also mine to climb. We're in this
bumpy journey called life, together.
