Let Me Accompany You

Won’t you let me accompany you,
In the troubles and struggles we’re both going through?
Won’t you let me accompany you,
Through the trials we face today and tomorrow too?
I don’t want to teach or preach to you;
Lecture, conjecture, give a speech to you.
I only want to offer my hand, reach out to you.

Won’t you let me accompany you,
Through the scores of wars we both have to fight?
Won’t you let me accompany you,
By your side as we ride through the dangerous plights?
I’m not here to steer you, show you the light,
Lead you, or feed you or read you your rights.
I just want to be your equal, join and unite.

Won’t you let me accompany you,
Through the swarms of the storms heading our way?
Won’t you let me accompany you,
Along the miles of trials we’re embedded in today?
I don’t want to save you, engrave you with my point of view;
Put a spell on you, sell you or tell you what to do.
I just want to be a mate who shares our fate, come what may.

Won’t you let me accompany you,
Through the haze, the maze, the good and the bad?
Won’t you let me accompany you,
Through the dunes, monsoons, the happy and sad?
I don’t want to organize or mobilize you;
Mold you, control you, tell you what to do.
I just want to be the brave who gave you all I had.
