Say what you want If I'm not there You know it hurts You can't save me now Please tell me this world isn't real I can't make it without you Forced to struggle on my own To make my life easy CHORUS: carry me when the sea wind dies hold me when the fire goes out make the earth stay stable for me tell the rough waters to stop beating me can you be there when I need you most? Can you make the rain fall up instead? Will you show me that you love me? Will you want me when I feel ashamed? CHORUS 'cause I need you when I need you and I don't know how or why but I would give all the world for you to just be there CHORUS and I would give all the world for you to just be there
