If I stumble, if I fall,
While I’m walking on my journey, searching for a way through my Sorrows and misgivings,
Would you be so kind as to lift me up with tender care?
Would you help to show me the way?

If I find myself caught, running through a raging storm,
Would you shelter me from the wild wind with a sanctuary of hope?
Would you nurture me with kindness until the rain stops falling?

If I decide to sail through my dark thoughts,
To fly through the cold winter’s dim and gloomy sky,
Would you take my hand, and show me the direction to the sunrise?
Would you take me to a place where the melody of the birds fills the air;
To a place with a new dawn, new moon, new hope, and renewed promise?
