Cantos by Ericka Koehler

Why do you cry? Take my hand,

I can hear you from the silence land.

Tell me your sorrows, let them out,

Let me be the one to help you shout.

Tears fall like raindrops from your eyes,

But with my support, you can rise.

Together we’ll face the pain,

And make the sunshine bright again.

Don’t hold it all inside,

Let me be your guide.

Through the darkness, we’ll find the light,

And make everything all right.

So why do you cry? Take my hand,

And together, we’ll make a stand.

I’ll be here to hear your plea,

And we’ll make your heart feel free.

Why do you cry? Take my hand.

I can hear you from the silence, understand.

Let the tears fall, don’t hold them in,

I’ll be here to catch you, to help you begin.

Your heart may ache, your soul may weep,

But know that I am here, my love is deep.

Together we’ll walk through this storm,

And find the light, where we belong.

So don’t be afraid, don’t let go,

Hold on tight, and let me know.

I’ll wipe away your tears and fears,

And we’ll face the world, without any tears.

Why do you cry? Take my hand.

I can hear you from the silence, understand.

Speak your heart, release your pain,

Let your tears fall like the rain.

Do not fear, I am here to hold,

Through your struggles, I’ll be bold.

Together we’ll face the darkest night,

And emerge with the morning light.

In your sorrow, do not be alone,

For in my embrace, you have a home.

So, take my hand, and let us go,

Towards a brighter tomorrow.
