Catch me when I Fall

I don’t need someone to tell me I’m funny
Stroke my ego, and laugh out loud
I’m no longer seeking the crowd’s approval
No, I’m way beyond that now

But I truly need a friend
A soul to share my hopes and dreams with 
A smile that reflects the light that shines within
A love that’s warm when days grow cold
A strong and steady hand to hold
When my back’s against the wall
To catch me when I fall

I’ve had my fill now of good time strangers
Who three years in, have no idea who you are
I’m not a child looking for amusement
But I’m still wishing on a star

I’m dying for some truth
I’m searching for the heart not tainted
Faith that somehow has survived this world
Eyes that see beyond the skin
Truly see the man within
And find acceptance with it all
Someone to catch me when I fall

And when I’m mired in hopelessness
When I’m feeling fragile and blind
I need to reach out
And never feel doubt 
About the love that I will find

I truly need a friend
A soul to share my hopes and dreams with 
A smile that reflects the light that shines within
A love that’s warm when days grow cold
A strong and steady hand to hold
When my back’s against the wall
And to catch me when I fall

Please catch me when I fall
