Here in my world
I will take you in my gentle arms
and teach you to reach for the stars.
I will hold you captive
in the possibilities of your dreams.
You can be anything you choose.
Dance with me in my world.
Time will prove my understanding.
Even if you should pull away;
I will stand strong in the hope
that the lessons I teach you
shall help you return to my world.
Love is what I am teaching you.
To stand tall in the middle of
trying circumstances.
For every tear you may cry,
in the shadows of your life,
I will be there to assure you
that dreariness is not forever.
Love will find a way to shine through.
Who my friend, will be your hero?
The one who loves you
despite all your faults and imperfections?
The one who reaches out to you
when you feel the world is against you?
Let me teach you...
to again believe in the power
and wisdom of hope.
To believe in your dreams
and look forward to the future.
On those dreary days
when you feel condemned
to the hostility of this world...
When the temptations of your heart,
are aching to be released....
When fear is so strong
it seems to be contagious...
Let me teach you...
to step back and look at yourself.
To close your eyes
to the harsh ugliness of this life.
Reaching instead inside
to where your true beauty lives.
To excel and achieve
even when the odds are against you.
Let me wrap you in comfort each night
here in my world.
Let me be part of your happiness
and your life.
For I shall love you...
even when you do not possess
the courage to love yourself.
