Jim van den Bos
Can I ask you to hold my hand
Or just follow me step by step
First the left, then the right
Trust me to know the way back
Can I ask you to look at me
Or just follow my every move
Acknowledge my body exists
I think I know it’s right
Can I ask you to listen please
Or just nod when you hear me plead
My advice for your troubled mind
I hope I know what’s right
Can I ask you to sense anything
Or just smile once more
It’ll be the light in my world
I don’t know what is right
Can I ask you to see my pain
Or just nod if you feel ashamed
My uselessness in your presence
I have no idea what I’m doing
Can you come to me
Or just hold me
I lost you
I know
