Reach out your hand

Today builds tomorrow,
a trail of footsteps behind.
I ponder and listen,
hearing his voice in the dark,
Leading me forward over boulders and thorns.
The path isn't easy,
the way not sure,
but the voice never waivers I strain to hear.
Come, it says, come follow my lead,
I'll catch you when you skin your knee,
I'll pick you up when you fall out of that tree.
Live, live don't look back,
Each day's a new page
together we will write,
you need to live.
You have that right...
you have the right.
The path is not easy
the way obscured.
A light in the darkness
is before you, if you keep me in mind.
Keep my image before you my dear,
my own as you stumble along.
I'll never fail you,
I'll never leave.
My eyes, they are tender,
my hands pierced for your blood,
feet torn, I paid the price
to hold you in my arms.
So take my scarred hand in yours,
I'll walk with you in this strange land.
Give me burdens that weigh you down,
Hand me the pain, that tears you in two,
let me help..let me help you.
I love you my dearest,
I love you my girl.
You can shut the door on me,
but I'm waiting just out of sight,,
for your beckoning gesture oh however slight.
I'll never leave...I'll never leave.
Together we'll slay the dragons ahead,
is it the burden of death?
We will make it light.
Reach out your hand, my dear
reach out your hand.
I'll walk before you with the light.
