Lyrics:
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?
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
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)
(Lay your head lowly)
(Softly then boldly)
(Carry me there)
(Lead me)
(Love and feed me)
(Kiss me and free me)
(I will feel blessed)
(Carry)
(Carry me boldly)
(Lift me up slowly)
(Carry me there)
(Save me)
(Heal me and bathe me)
(Softly you say to me)
(I will be there)
(Lift me)
(Lift me up slowly)
(Carry me boldly)
(Show me you care)
(Hold me)
(Lay your head lowly)
(Softly then boldly)
(Carry me there)
(Need me)
(Love me and feed me)
(Kiss me and free me)
(I will feel blessed)
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

Philippines lays to rest democracy icon Aquino
MANILA (AFP) – – At least 150,000 people took to the rain-soaked streets of Manila on Wednesday to bid farewell to former president Corazon Aquino, whose “People Power” democracy movement ended decades of dictatorship.
Aquino, who died aged 76 after a long battle with cancer, was to be buried in a private ceremony after a long funeral procession skirting the Philippine capital’s gleaming business towers and teeming shantytowns.
Cory Aquino - Hero of Philippines Democracy!
With a national holiday called as part of 10 days of official mourning, thousands of people surrounded her coffin as it left Manila Cathedral following a mass just before noon draped in the national flag.
Eight police officers in full dress uniform served as pallbearers, carrying the casket to a flat-bed truck festooned with yellow and white flowers.
By mid-afternoon, a police spokesman told reporters 150,000 people lined the 18-kilometre (11-mile) route from the cathedral to the cemetery where she was to be laid to rest.
It took over four hours for the vehicle to travel just one third of the route.
Millions more people, including from the 8.7-million-strong overseas Filipino community, monitored the slow progress of the cortege on television and Internet streaming sites.
“She made me proud again to be a Filipino,” said Father Catalino Arevalo, recalling Aquino’s bloodless triumph against the 20-year dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos in 1986, three years after her husband’s assassination.
East Timor President and Nobel Prize winner Jose Ramos-Horta, who flew to Manila to attend the funeral, described Aquino as “one of the greatest people of the 20th century,” likening her to India’s independence hero Mahatma Gandhi.
Men and women standing at least 10-deep on both sides of the road openly wept as the truck crawled through the swelling crowd, while military helicopters circled overhead, showering them with yellow confetti.
People in buildings lining Manila’s streets opened their windows, hung yellow banners and dropped confetti onto the sea of mourners below.
A crowd of nuns, their blue habits wet from the rain, released white doves and yellow balloons — yellow was Aquino’s signature colour.
Ships docked along Manila Bay sounded mournful horns.
Aquino was to be laid to rest alongside her husband Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino, who was gunned down at Manila airport in 1983 as he returned home to challenge the dictator Marcos.
President Gloria Arroyo, whom Aquino had turned against over accusations of corruption in the Arroyo administration, made a brief pre-dawn visit to the cathedral to pay her last respects.
She shook hands with the former leader’s son, Senator Benigno Aquino, and prayed briefly over the casket.
Arroyo cut short a visit to the United States following the former leader’s death on Saturday and was met by the Aquino family.
But she was pointedly excluded from the invitation-only mass that was also attended by two past presidents, Fidel Ramos and Joseph Estrada, and foreign diplomats.
The family had rejected Arroyo’s offer to hold a state funeral, reflecting the icy relationship between the only two Filipino women to have led the fractious and impoverished Southeast Asian nation of 90 million people.
Vice President Noli de Castro was the lone senior government representative at the mass, which was broadcast live on television and on giant monitors outside the church.
Two children of Marcos paid their respects on Tuesday and the late dictator’s flamboyant wife Imelda said a reconciliation between the families could prove a “miracle for the Philippines”.

Family, nation bid farewell to Cory Aquino
MANILA — (Updated 2:01 p.m.) Former President Corazon Aquino’s body is making its final journey through Manila Wednesday to be buried next to her assassinated husband in a culmination of grieving for the icon hailed as the example of moral leadership.
Cory Aquino 1993-2009
As the flatbed truck carrying Mrs. Aquino’s flag-draped coffin slowly makes its way to Manila Memorial Park, where she will be buried next to next husband Senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr., huge crowds chanting “Cory” line Manila’s rainy streets and walk behind her casket as the procession, lashed by winds, inches closer to her final resting place. Yellow confetti showered the roads.
Aquino’s daughter Kris said in her tearful farewell to her mother during the 9 a.m. requiem mass at the Manila Cathedral in Intramuros that she was grateful for the privilege of being Cory Aquino’s child and promised to lead a life that would make her mother proud.
Kris Aquino-Yap said her mother’s last words were “take care of each other,” but that this message is intended not only for the family but for all Filipinos.
“You have given our family great honor. For my family, the Filipinos are worth it,” she added, as she thanked her countrymen for the outpouring of prayers and support during the family’s time of bereavement.
In his homily during the requiem mass, Fr. Catalino Arevalo said Mrs. Aquino always had the welfare of the country in mind. He said the order of former President’s priority was: God, country, the people, and family.
Mrs. Aquino was the “only true queen the people had” and the “source of our faith,” added Arevalo. “She made this world much safer and less cruel for us.”
Arevalo, who delivered the homily in accordance with Mrs. Aquino’s wishes, thanked her children for sharing her with the country. “They never had their parents to themselves,” he said.
Kris added in her eulogy that she always felt she was her mother’s favorite because she was most like her father, the late Senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino, and he was her mother’s one and only love.
She apologized to her mother for lying by saying the family would be okay, explaining they wanted her to be free from the pain and not to worry over them. “Mom, it will take a lifetime for us to be okay,” she said.
Kris also thanked her sisters Balsy, Pinky, and Viel, and her brother Senator Noynoy Aquino, whose political career she promised to support although she asked him not to get married. “You are Josh’s security blanket, his protector now that mom is gone,” Kris told Noynoy.
A few hours earlier, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, who was at odds with the former president, visited the wake of Mrs. Aquino. She was met by Noynoy at the left side of the Manila Cathedral.
Arroyo cut short her US trip to pay her last respects to the former President. She stayed less than 10 minutes at the Manila Cathedral. Arroyo no longer attended the funeral mass for Mrs. Aquino.
The requiem mass for former President Aquino started at 9 a.m. and was punctuated by performances of famous artists like Lea Salonga, Sarah Geronimo, Apo Hiking Society, Erik Santos, and Piolo Pascual, among others.
After the mass, which ended at 11 a.m., Mrs. Aquino’s casket was brought out of the Manila Cathedral for the funeral motorcade while a military band played “Bayan Ko.” As the casket was slowly carried out of the cathedral, people stood up and clapped.
Outside the cathedral, honor guards gave the former commander-in-chief military departure honors.
Over the last five days, hundreds of thousands of mourners have filed past Mrs. Aquino’s open casket. Family, friends, and former aides crowded into the Manila Cathedral late Tuesday to eulogize the accidental opposition leader who led the 1986 “people power” uprising and drove away the 20-year repressive rule of Ferdinand Marcos.
Aquino, the 11th Philippine president, died Saturday at age 76 after a yearlong battle with colon cancer.
Her successors Fidel Ramos and Joseph Estrada, the latter deposed in a second popular uprising in 2001 on corruption allegations, together with East Timor President Jose Ramos-Horta, attended Wednesday’s requiem Mass.
“We never saw any wrongdoing on her part,” said housekeeper Edith Sabas.
At the simple white-painted tomb at the family mausoleum, interior designer Merly Querubin, wearing a baseball cap adorned with a yellow ribbon, said her country had two kinds of leaders.
“One who we follow out of fear, and one who we follow out of respect. We have lost a leader so respected.”
In a highly symbolic gesture, the late Marcos’ two children paid their last respects Tuesday to the woman who toppled their father. It was unlikely, however, to reconcile the families’ bitter rivalry.
Aquino’s brother-in-law, former Sen. Agapito “Butz” Aquino, welcomed them at the wake saying the family had “no fight with the children” of Marcos.
Aquino rose to prominence after her husband was assassinated in 1983 as he returned from U.S. exile to oppose Marcos. Hesitant, she inherited his mantle and agreed to run against the strongman in 1986.
Marcos claimed an election victory over Aquino, but the polls were widely seen as fraudulent. A group of military officers rebelled against him, triggering “people power” protests by hundreds of thousands that finally toppled Marcos.
In office, Aquino struggled to meet high public expectations. Her land redistribution program fell short of ending economic domination by the landed elite. Her leadership, especially in social and economic reform, was often indecisive, leaving many of her closest allies disillusioned by the end of her term.
She faced down seven coup attempts -- most staged by the same clique of officers who had risen up against Marcos and felt they had been denied their fair share of power.
Aquino stepped down in 1992, refusing to seek another term and reminding people that her mission -- the restoration of democracy -- had been completed.
Despite her “serious flaws” in office, left-wing Rep. Teddy Casino expressed gratitude to Aquino for reminding “the world that there is perhaps a Cory in every Filipino looking for a way to become manifest.” (AP/Sunnex)
