I may not be able to heal your hurts
but can always share your pain
I may not be your source of peace
but I can always stand with you in the midst of the storm

I cannot always be the one to dry your tears
but I can shed them with you
I may not always know the way
but I can walk with you into the unknown

I will not always have advice to give
but I will listen willingly
I will not have all the answers
but I will question everything with you

I may not always make you smile
but I'll try to always bring you joy
You may like black and blue
but I'll paint the town with you

You may not always win the race
but I'll stay to the finish to cheer you on
My voice may not be the sweetest you'll hear
but I'll sing to you when you have no music

I may never be strong enough to move your obstacles
but can I lend you what strength I have?
When I'm lacking in eloquenceand don't know what to say
will you still let me pray with you?

And when you can no longer be my lover
can I still call you my friend?
