The tears you can not shed
from my eyes will fall.
The pain you can not endure
I will endure it all.
Wounds you hide away
from me the blood will flow.
Promises made and broken
from me you will never know.
The love that you have lost
I will give to you.
The burdens you can not bear
I will bear them too.
The comfort you can not find
In my arms will be.
All the things you need
you can ask of me.
When your life dims
I will be there still
When you die, who will morn?
Friend I surely will.
The pain of death you face
I will face it too.
If your place I could take
I would go for you.
