It was just a matter of time

Before you needed me

It had to happen sooner or later

You'd get in too deep



You don't have to worry

You don't have to worry at all

And if you should stumble

I'll be there for you after the fall



Just remember to hold on tight

I know it's your life in my hands

Reach out for the one you trust

You've got to be strong

And keep holding on to the lifeline



Take my hand and don't let go again

I'll be around, I won't let you down

On that you can depend



Time and tide won't keep me

Won't keep me away from your side

If I am needed, I'll be there for you

Day or night



Just remember to hold on tight

You know it's my heart in your hands

Reach out for the one you trust

You've got to be strong

And keep holding on to the lifeline



Keep holding on
