Say what you want   If I'm not there   You know it hurts   You can't save me now      Please tell me this world isn't real   I can't make it without you   Forced to struggle on my own   To make my life easy      CHORUS:   carry me when the sea wind dies   hold me when the fire goes out   make the earth stay stable for me   tell the rough waters to stop beating me      can you be there when I need you most?   Can you make the rain fall up instead?   Will you show me that you love me?   Will you want me when I feel ashamed?      CHORUS      'cause I need you when I need you   and I don't know how or why   but I would give all the world   for you to just be there      CHORUS      and I would give all the world   for you to just be there
