Can you be strong enough for me

to handle all my fears

Can you feel safe enough to feel me close

and let me know you're near

Can you take away my anger and my fears

and know they're not for you

Can you know I'm sharing of myself

and trying to be true

Can you be wise enough to let me go

when I must run away

Can you forgive enough to let me back

and know that I will stay

Can you be patient enough to let me be

and love me as I am

Can you let me "Be", so that I can see

I'm simply, who I am
