Remembering MJ

Watching the Michael Jackson funeral makes me wonder. Why does a person have to die before we learn so much about them? Why don't we slow down and take the time to get to know who a person really is, before it is too late.

This song by Michael Jackson reminds me of our kids with attachment disorders in many ways. The spoken part at the end really grabs my heart.



Hold me

Like the river jordan

And I will then say to thee
You are my friend


Carry me
Like you are my brother
Love me like a mother

Will you be there?

Weary
Tell me will you hold me

When wrong, will you scold me

When lost will you find me?

But they told me

A man should be faithful
And walk when not able

And fight till the end
But I'm only human


Everyones taking control of me

Seems that the worlds
Got a role for me

I'm so confused

Will you show to me

You'll be here for me

And care enough to bear me

(lead me)

(lay your head lowly)
(softly then boldly)

(carry me there)

(hold me)
(love me and feed me)

(kiss me and free me)
(I will feel blessed)


(carry)
(carry me boldly)
(lift me up slowly)

(carry me there)
(save me)

(heal me and bathe me)

(softly you say to me)
(I will be there)

(lift me)

(lift me up slowly)
(carry me boldly)
(show me you care)


(hold me)
(lay your head lowly)

(softly then boldly)
(carry me there)

(need me)

(love me and feed me)
(kiss me and free me)

(I will feel blessed)


(spoken)

In our darkest hour
In my deepest despair

Will you still care?
Will you be there?
In my trials

And my tribulations

Through our doubts

And frustrations in violence

In my turbulance

Through my fear
And my confessions

In my anguish and my pain
Through my joy and my sorrow

In the promise of another tomorrow
Ill never let you part

For you're always in my heart.
