“Cradle” And I’ve paid my respects I’ve put in my time I just cannot seem To move up in your line Would I step in new skin If it mattered at all? Could I be someone else If it meant that you’d call? But who we are Is a sacred vow Integrity counts It must, somehow I can’t understand How I could cradle your soul But never touch your heart I am but one man Who stands on two feet I try not to falter Refusing to bleed But the view from down here Can rival most sight I swear I saw a halo I know I felt your light You lean on me in need You turn to me in tears Your friend with empty arms Been silent here for years I can’t understand How I could cradle your soul But never touch your heart I’m gonna be there I’m gonna be there Be there Right here…
