I Will Take Your Part

I will ease your mind.

 

Sometimes, in the face of overwhelming loss and grief, the best thing you can do is play the right song, with the right lyrics, at the right time.

Sometimes, music and poetry can help heal the hurting.

Sometimes, it’s the only thing that can.

I can’t imagine listeners to any format objecting to this if you set it up well.

When you’re weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I’ll dry them all
I’m on your side
Oh, when times get rough
And friends just can’t be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you’re down and out
When you’re on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I’ll take your part
Oh, when darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on silver girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
Oh, if you need a friend
I’m sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
