I need you now

My friend i need you now
please take me by my hand
stand by me in my hour of need
take time to understand
take my hand dear friend
and lead me from this place
chase away my doubts and fears
wipe the tears off my face
friend i cannot stand alone
i need your hand to hold
the warmth of you gentle touch
in my world thats grown so cold
please be a friend to me
and hold me day by day
because with your loving hand in mine
i know we'll find the way
