Will You Be There If I Fall?

I have held it together for this long
but how much longer can I stand
Life pummels you and leaves you no room
to stand on your own two legs

I cannot fall if I am to be a man
Life cannot beat me back
But in case I need the support
Will you be there if I fall?

I have loved more than anyone ever could
I have lost more than anyone could ever count
I have learned more than a sage’s lifetime
I have discarded all of this for these pursuits

Despite the harsh times we have endured
I have held my head up high
but my time has come I come close to breaking
Will you be there if I fall?

Countless times I have held your hand
Wiping away those endless tears
I bathed you in my compassion and support
I may need you now my dear

Life has thrown a curve ball laced with razors
I tried to catch and it cut me deep
I am collapsing under these wounds
Will you be there if I fall?
