When I met you at first
I didn’t know what to expect
There was fire in your heart
A void I could detect

Your harsh words spoke of your plight
There was something in there
I wanted to reach out
But I couldn’t comprehend how

Then we met again, you spoke to me
You bared your soul for me to see
I wished to soothe your pain, but there’s far too much
I chose not to leave and stay by your side

Let me walk with you, let me share your pain
In it nothing I lose but your friendship I gain
Perhaps not forever but whatever little time
Let me hold your hand let me walk by your side

In life sorrows are many, but there are joys too
Both grey clouds and sunshine for me and you
Give me some of your pain take some of my joy
Come hold my hand come walk by side
