Lyrics

[Verse 1: Michael Jackson] Hold me like the River Jordan And I will then say to thee "You are my friend" Carry me like you are my brother Love me like a mother Will you be there? [Interlude 1: Michael Jackson] Hey Yeah Mother Oh, baby [Verse 2: Michael Jackson] Weary, tell me will you hold me? When wrong, will you scold me? When lost will you find me? But they told me a man should be faithful And walk when not able And fight 'til the end, but I'm only human [Interlude 2: Michael Jackson] Mother Hey [Bridge: Michael Jackson & Cleveland Orchestra] Everyone's taking control of me Seems that the world's got a role for me I'm so confused, will you show it to me? You'll be there for me and Care enough to bear me [Refrain: Michael Jackson & Choir] Hold me (Show me), lay your head lowly (Told me) Softly then boldly (Yeah) Carry me there (I'm only human), lead me (Hold me) Love me and feed me (Yeah, yeah), kiss me and free me (Yeah) I will feel blessed (I'm only human), carry (Carry) Carry me boldly (Carry me), lift me up slowly (Yeah) Carry me there (I'm only human), save me (Lift me) Heal me and bathe me (Lift me up, lift me up) Softly you say to me, "I will be there" (I will be there) Lift me, lift me up slowly, carry me boldly (Yeah) Show me you care (Yeah), hold me (Hoo) Lay your head lowly (It gets lonely sometimes) Softly then boldly (I get lonely, yeah, yeah) Carry me there (Carry me there), need me (Hoo) Love me and feed me (Lift me up, hold me up) Kiss me and free me (Lift me up sometimes, up sometimes) I will feel blessed (Yeah) [Spoken Word: Michael Jackson] In our darkest hour In my deepest despair Will you still care? Will you be there? In my trials and my tribulations Through our doubts and frustrations In my violence, in my turbulence Through my fear and my confessions In my anguish and my pain Through my joy and my sorrow In the promise of another tomorrow I'll never let you part For you're always in my heart
