Hold on to me when you're falling
When you're falling down to the ground
Hold on to me when you feel like
When you feel like you can't go on

Don't be afraid I'll never refuse you
Playing with a broken heart that's lame again
Don't be ashamed to reach out and take my helping hand
It's so easy to be, to be free
All you got to do is
Hold on to me when you're falling
Hold on to me when you're falling down
Hold on to me when you're falling down to the ground

(Hold on to me when you're falling, Hold on to me when you're falling)

Reach out to me when you're crying
When you're crying out in the rain
Reach out to me when you feel like when you
Feel like you can't stand the pain

Don't be ashamed to hold your head up
Walking to this state of mind ain't' no big deal
Don't be afraid to reach out and there's a friendly sky
Take your clue. all you've got to do is...
Hold on to me...

Steve Winwood

Steven Lawrence Winwood is most famous for his solo work, including two number one hits Higher Love and Roll with It, and for being the member of two supergroups, Traffic and Blind Faith, along with helping found the Spencer Davis Group at fourteen years old.

Speaking of which, Mozart had nothing on Winwood as a keyboard

As a boy in middle school, little Stevie Winwood played the Hammond synth for Blues gods and Rock & Roll founders like Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley, when they toured in Britain. We’d list more, but it’s exhausting to link all of those names.
