Carry me, when I can no longer stand
Hold me, when I feel afraid
Be near to me, I need to know what's going on
Help me, I need you here with me
My girls are growing up and they're making cakes in the mud
They are riding their own bikes, sailing through the neighbourhood
All of a sudden I see her stop, she's callin out my name:
Help me, I need you here with me
Carry me, when I can no longer stand
Hold me, when I feel afraid
Be near to me, I need to know what's going on
Help me, I need you here with me
My girls gotta a way, of changing all the rules we made
Dad don't come here yet, I haven't got a hiding place
But suddenly I see her stop, she's calln' out my name
Help me, I need you here with me
Carry me, when I can no longer stand
Hold me, when I feel afraid
Be near to me, I need to know what's going on
Help me, I need you here with me
We all have a time, when we feel a little scared
We all fall down, and need someone to lend a hand
It's okay to call a friend and say to them
Help me, I need you here with me.
Carry me, when I can no longer stand
Hold me, when I feel afraid
Be near to me, I need to know what's going on
Help me, I need you here with me
Times have changed, we're no longer on our own
We have these constant responsiblities
I'm learning to be ready, always ready to respond
Just call me, and I'll be coming near to you
Carry me, when I can no longer stand
Hold me, when I feel afraid
Be near to me, I need to know what's going on
Help me, I need you here with me
