Catch Me

Catch me if I fall
Hold me when I stand
Be there when I die
And we’ll walk hand in hand
 
And if by chance your praying failed
My soul just had to leave
Then go on living, take a breath,
don’t let your body heave
 
You gave me an extra day
To cherish what I had
You held my hand close to your heart
Love is what it said

(1995)

Impassioned
