[Verse 1]
When I'm older
And I'm less strong and meek
When it's almost hard to breathe in
I just hope that you'll be there for me
[Chorus]
Heal my bones and give me hope
When it's hard just to breathe in and I'm fading out
Weigh my blood and call my bluff
When I say that I'm all right with walking alone
[Verse 2]
As the days grow and it's colder
Would you help me to see and believe?
As the night comes and I'm lonely
Would you hold me and keep me alive?
[Chorus]
Heal my bones and give me hope
When it's hard just to breathe in and I'm fading out
Weigh my blood and call my bluff
When I say that I'm all right with walking alone
[Bridge]
Pull my body through time
And listen
Pull my body through time
And listen
[Verse 3]
Now I know that when the years pass
I would see us together again
As my knees give and I can't stand
I can feel that you're there still there for me
[Chorus]
Heal my bones and give me hope
When it's hard just to breathe in and I'm fading out
Weigh my blood and call my bluff
When I say that I'm all right with walking alone
