[Prelude: Cleveland Orchestra]
Ihr stürzt nieder, Millionen?
Ahnest du den Schöpfer, Welt?
Such' ihn über'm Sternenzelt!
Über Sternen muss er wohnen

[Verse 1: Michael Jackson]
Hold me like the River Jordan
And I will then say to thee, "You are my friend"
Carry me like you are my brother
Love me like a mother
Will you be there?

[Verse 2: Michael Jackson]
Weary, tell me will you hold me?
When wrong, will you scold me?
When lost will you find me?
But they told me a man should be faithful
And walk when not able
And fight 'til the end, but I'm only human

[Verse 3: Michael Jackson]
Everyone's taking control of me
Seems that the world's got a role for me
I'm so confused, will you show it to me?
You'll be there for me and care enough to bear me
[Verse 4: Cleveland Orchestra & Michael Jackson]
Hold me (Show me)
Lay your head lowly (Told me)
Softly then boldly (Yeah!)
Carry me there (I'm only human)
Lead me (Hold me)
Love me and feed me (Yeah, yeah!)
Kiss me and free me (Yeah!)
I will feel blessed (I'm only human)
Carry (Carry!)
Carry me boldly (Carry me!)
Lift me up slowly (Yeah!)
Carry me there (I'm only human!)
Save me (Lift me)
Heal me and bathe me (Lift me up, lift me up)
Softly you say to me, "I will be there"
I will be there
Lift me, lift me up slowly
Carry me boldly (Yeah!)
Show me you care
Hold me (Hoo!)
Lay your head lowly (It gets lonely sometimes)
I get lonely, yeah, yeah
Softly then boldly
Carry me there
Need me (Hoo!)
Love me and feed me (Lift me up, hold me up)
Lift me up sometimes, up sometimes
Kiss me and free me
I will feel blessed
[Spoken: Michael Jackson]
In our darkest hour, in my deepest despair
Will you still care? Will you be there?
In my trials and my tribulations
Through our doubts and frustrations
In my violence, in my turbulence
Through my fear and my confessions
In my anguish and my pain
Through my joy and my sorrow
In the promise of another tomorrow
I'll never let you part
For you're always in my heart
