I wish to lay down my head
     in your lap
          and cry
as you play with my hair
     to feel the love
          and protection you share
your arms are strong
     but your heart is the muscle I need
to feel that I belong
                     am loved
                     am safe
     from my own doubts
                   and fears
              my own hands
I wish to lay down my head
     in your lap
          and cry
as you stroke my hair
