Your Umbrella for Any Weather

Talk to me
Hear me calling out your name
Let me come to you
Wrap you up tight
And tell you everything is alright

Trust me, I'm here
Let me take the wheel and steer
You can sleep
Let me drive for a while
I can see that you are tired
But your brain is on fire, wired

Grab my hand
I can be your soft place to land
Let me in
Let me share the dark with you
Let me gift you some light
So you can keep up the fight
And make it through another night

You are not alone
With me, you always have a home
So come knocking at my door
Any time day or night
Together, we can make all these impossible things right

Just be you, my friend
The you I love so dear
With me, you never have to fear
No problem too small
Nothing too scary or big
I will sit with you through it all
So just pick up the phone and call

I can help you start again
So just stop, breathe and count to ten
Take a break, a pause for good measure
And I promise I will be your umbrella for any weather
