Do Not Leave Me Alone

do not say goodbye!
for your arms around me has kept me through;
 your balm and grease sustained my bones and nerves,
 for they are from a heart that is pure and true. 

when storm and tempest throws me to the west
 your hand of power raised me from the depth;
 when shadows of death stole away my rest
 the blood that binds us brought in me a new strength. 

when the going gets though and the lane rough
  your saintly voice as a pillar held my heart with power;
 when friends and fans denied their vows of love
 your unchanging passion was my only hope and high tower .

you are more than a million friend indeed
 for weather and climate does not change your words:
 in times of joy, difficulty, plenty and need,
  you never break the golden cord that sealed us.

oppositions and terors around me wait for the hour
 that you will say goodbye and i will be alone 
for your shadow is like a million guard around me every hour
oh my Lord my  prayer always is do not leave me alone
