You must learn to trust me
For I could be your way
To your truth
Believe that I am sincere
Believe in me
Because I believe in you

Trust my words
For I trust them with my life
They are the vessel
In which my life is contained
So please take care of my words
Because they are so fragile
And so am I

As are you.

And I want to keep your life
In one piece
Dont be swept away by the landslide
You never need the waves to carry you
Do not fear to swim
In your own direction
Because you are not alone
In this ocean

Although our rivers were different
Our ocean is the same
We cannot float alone
I will always keep you from drowning

Whenever you fall
My arms will wrap around you
And make you feel still
So still that you dont fall
You just move
And I will never stop you moving

When your tears fall
Just think of me
For I will always hug you
Whether I am there or not
In my mind, my arms are always yours
For I am always your friend
And your companion as you travel

So, please learn to trust me
Because it is just the three of us
You, me and the ocean.
