Baby, I know it's hard,
but you have to offer me something.
Offer something...
to someone.
Offer something to yourself.
Offer a glimpse.
Offer a moment.
Offer a taste.
Offer a tiny little part at a time,
the rest will flow
right into all the spaces
it fits into.
I promise you.
offer up...
I'll take only what I need.
I'll leave some for you...
to share with others.
Baby, I know it scarey,
but you need to stand up for me.
Stand up,
for someone.
Stand up for yourself.
Stand a while.
Stand a smile.
Step a tiny little step at a time,
the rest will step right into all the spaces
they fit into.
I promise you.
Offer up...
for me...
for you...
Offer up...
