I'LL TAKE THE OARS

I WANT TO BE YOUR PADDLE. TRULY I DO.

I WANT TO FIGHT THOSE SEAS OF LOVE WITH YOU,

AND BE YOUR STRENGTH ON STORMY NIGHT,

AND WHISPER HOPE, AND HOLD YOU TIGHT,

ASSURING YOU THE SUN WILL RISE

AND LIGHT THE DARKNESS IN YOUR EYES,

AND HEAL YOUR TORN AND WOUNDED HEART,

AND PUSH AWAY ALL LONELY THOUGHT.

AND, WHEN YOU'RE DROWNING IN MISTRUST,

I'LL TAKE THE OARS FOR BOTH OF US

AND LAND YOU SAFELY ON THE SHORE

AND WISH YOU LOVE FOREVER MORE.
