Pillar

I wish you'd let me help you
I wish you'd let me in
I promise I won't hurt you
I just want to be your friend

I know what you are going through
The things you'll never tell
I know because I've been there, too
I know the pain too well

I cannot say I've found the cure
I don't think one exists
The trick is learning to endure
And how to survive this

If you take it on yourself
You may not make it through
So take my hand and let me help
And I will stand by you

When this world becomes too cold
And you can't help but cry
I'll be there for you to hold
It doesn't matter why

When the world tries to break your soul
And you don't have the strength to fight
I'll be there to help you out of that hole
I'll be your guiding light

This world is full of pain and hate
It's full of fear and misery
When it makes you feel second-rate
Come and put your arms around me

Feel the love in my embrace
Feel the strength that I exude
As you look into my eyes
Let me share that strength with you

If you choose to take my hand
If you choose to be my friend
United as one we will stand
Side-by-side until the end

If I leave this world before you
I'll tell Death there's one condition
I must be free to visit you
As a friendly apparition

In that non-corporeal state
I will still stand by your side
I'll give you strength to battle hate
And love to dry the tears you've cried

I'll take the fears that you still feel
And let them dissipate into the night
Then all of your wounds will heal
And you will finally see the light
