You Are Not Alone

Take my hand,
I know it’s hard to ask another to care

Take my hand,
I know it’s hard to ask another to share your confusion

Take my hand,
And allow me to be your confessional
Allow me to be your strength when you need it
I know it’s hard
But take my hand
Take my hand
Because it’s right to know there is someone here for you
Because there is no greater pain
No greater sorrow
Than feeling alone, 
Abandoned in a world of confusion
So take my hand

Take my hand
And I shall be there when you need a laugh

Take my hand
And I shall be there when you need a shoulder to cry on

Take my hand
And I shall be there when you just need to feel me close by

Take my hand
And I will show you how to believe again in trust
And you will never be alone again

Take my hand
I know its hard to try
To ask another to share in your pain
How unfair it seems to ask another to care
I know because I have been there too
So take my hand
Take my hand
Because this is a good thing
A beautiful thing our friendship
Because I need you as much as you need me
So take my hand

Take my hand
And I will only be a breath away
