ANYONE OUT THERE
TO TALK TO, TO TOUCH?
TO HOLD NOT TOO GENTLY,
TO CARE NOT TOO MUCH.
ANYONE WILLING
TO GIVE WITHOUT FEAR,
TO TREMBLE WITH LONGING,
BUT NOT COME TOO NEAR?

ANYONE OUT THERE,
ONE PERSON AT LEAST?
ONE SOMEONE TO LOVE ME,
TO WHISPER, TO TEACH.
TO HOLD OUT THEIR ARMS,
TO SAY IT'S OKAY,
ONE PERSON IS ALL,
TO SHOW ME THE WAY...

ANYONE OUT THERE,
ONE PERSON AT LEAST?
ANYONE?
... NO?
THAT'S OKAY,
I'LL SURVIVE.
