With a little love and some tenderness
We'll walk upon the water
We'll rise above the mess
With a little peace and some harmony
We'll take the world together
We'll take 'em by the hand
'Cause I got a hand for you, aaah
'Cause I wanna run with you
Yesterday, I saw you standing there
Your head was down, your eyes were red
No comb had touched your hair
I said "get up and let me see you smile"
We'll take a walk together
Walk the road awhile, 'cause
'Cause I got a hand for you
I've got a hand for you
'Cause I wanna run with you
Won't you let me run with you, yeah
Hold my hand, want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand, I'll take you to a place where you can be
Hold my hand, anything you wanna be, because
I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can
You see, I was wasted, and I was wasting time
'Til I thought about your problems, I thought about your crimes
Then I stood up and then, I screamed aloud
I don't wanna part of your problems
Don't wanna be part of your crowd, no
'Cause I got a hand for you
I've got a hand for you
'Cause I wanna run with you
Ah, won't you let me run with you?
Hold my hand, want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand, I'll take you to the promised land
Hold my hand, maybe we can't change the world, but
I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can, yeah
Aaaah...
Let me, why won't you let me, let me, let me, why?
Hold my hand, want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand, I'll take you to a place where you can be
Hold my hand, anything you wanna be, because
I, oh, no no, no no no
Hold my hand, want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand, I'll take you to the promised land
Hold my hand, maybe we can't change the world, but
I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can
Oh, best that I can
