I am HERE!
my heart cries;
I am HERE for you.
Take my hand, lean on me
Let me strengthen your step, help light your way
Let me hold you close again
and comfort you...
Yet you silently turn away
never speaking, not to say
what you need, how I can help
Or why you must
go away.
I am HERE!!
my heart cries out.
Why did you
not stay.
