be my guide 
be my pilot
be the breath on my face
be the arms that can form it
be the heart in my chest

this is the way i want you to begin my life. 
i couldn't face another night like that again.  

be my hope, ill be your hope.  
be the hair that knots with my hair.  
be the drink when i am thirsty.  
be the hand to hold at night.  

this is the way i want you to begin my life.  
i couldn't face another night like that again.
