You Needed Me by Anne Murray

I cried a tear, you wiped it dry
I was confused, you cleared my mind
I sold my soul, you bought it back for me
And held me up and gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me

You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me

And I can't believe it's you
I can't believe it's true
I needed you and you were there
And I'll never leave, why should I leave?
I'd be a fool 'cause I finally found someone who really cares

You held my hand when it was cold
When I was lost you took me home
You gave me hope when I was at the end
And turned my lies back into truth again
You even called me "friend"

You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me

The Opening of 2009

At this point, we will say ‘alhamdulillah’,
For all, that had been given by Allah,
The health that keeps me living,
The youth that keeps me dancing,
And the wealth that never stop flowing,
And at this point, everything is a blessing.

At this point, our breathing is more relaxing,
When our two feet are strongly standing,
We plan for a brighter future,
We cling more closely together,
A beginning of a new chapter,
Of new stories to carve and remember.
