Carry me when I feel small,
give me light when I am dark,
lift me up when I fall,
always treat me the same.
Teach me in my ignorance,
break me down,
reconstitute my prideful nature,
always treat me the same.
Struggle against my restlessness,
listen to my rare flecks of wisdom,
direct me in times of moral crisis,
always treat me the same.
Bless me when I am sick,
hold my arm when I am lost,
love me when my soul tears,
always treat me the same,
and I'll do the same for you.

Carry me when I feel small,
give me light when I am dark,
lift me up when I fall,
always treat me the same.
Teach me in my ignorance,
break me down,
reconstitute my prideful nature,
always treat me the same.
Struggle against my restlessness,
listen to my rare flecks of wisdom,
direct me in times of moral crisis,
always treat me the same.
Bless me when I am sick,
hold my arm when I am lost,
love me when my soul tears,
always treat me the same,
and I'll do the same for you.
