Hold me like the River Jordan
And I will then say to thee, you are my friend
Carry me like you are my brother
Love me like a mother, will you be there?

Yeah, hold on, yeah
Hold on, oh, yeah

When weary, tell me will you hold me?
When wrong, will you scold me?
When lost, will you find me?
But they told me, a man should be faithful
And walk when not able
And fight till the end but I'm only human

Yeah, oh, hold on
Yeah, oh, yeah

Everyone's taking control of me
Seems that the world's got a role for me
I'm so confused, will you show to me
You'll be there for me and care enough to bear me?

(Hold me) Show me
(Lay your head lowly) Told me
(Softly then boldly) Yeah
(Carry me there) I'm only human

(Lift me) Hold me
(Love me and feed me) Yeah, I can
(Kiss me and free me) Yeah
(I will feel blessed) I'm only human

(Carry) Carry
(Carry me boldly) Carry me
(Lift me up slowly) Yeah
(Carry me there) I'm only human

(Save me) Lift me
(Heal me and bathe me) Give me up, give me up
(Softly you say to me)
(I will be there) I will be there

(Lift me) Told me
(Lift me up slowly)
(Carry me boldly) Yeah
(Show me you care) Yeah

(Hold me) Hoo
(Lay your head lowly) Get lonely sometimes
(Softly then boldly) I get lonely, yeah yeah
(Carry me there) Yeah

(Need me) Hoo
(Love me and feed me) Give me up, hold me up, give me up sometimes
(Kiss me and free me) oh, sometimes
(I will feel blessed) Yeah

In our darkest hour, in my deepest despair
Will you still care? Will you be there?
In my trials and my tribulations
Through our doubts and frustrations
In my violence, in my turbulence

Through my fear and my confessions
In my anguish and my pain
Through my joy and my sorrow
In the promise of another tomorrow
I'll never let you part for you're always in my heart

Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana. Jackson began his career when he was seven years old as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, breaking into stardom in 1969 after signing into Motown. The Jackson 5’s first four singles all peaked at number one on the Billboard 100, and soon after Michael pursued a solo career.

His breakthrough fifth album, 1979’s Off The Wall produced four top ten hits (including “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”) and sold 20 million copies, establishing him as a household name. The album was followed with 1982’s Thriller, which became the best selling album of all time, and was the first album to feature seven top 10 singles, including “Billie Jean” and “Beat It.”

In 1985, Michael contributed to the collaboration single “We Are The World”, which remains one of the best-selling singles of all time and raised nearly $65 million for famine relief.
