Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,

What do you know about "The Way International?"

Lord I have a heavy burden of all I've seen and know
It's more than I can handle

I missed you today.
I missed your warmth.
I missed your hug.

I got a warm hug today.
It was from someone else.
It wasn't the same.

...because I love you.

You are my family!
