Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[PreChorus]

'Cause I've got a hand for you, oh

'Cause I wanna run with you

[Verse 2]

Yesterday, I saw you standin' 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"

[PreChorus]

'Cause I've 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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

You see, I was wasted

And I was a-wastin' time

Till I thought about your problems, I thought about your crimes

Then I stood up

And then I screamed aloud

I don't wanna be part of your problems

Don't wanna be part of your crowd, no

[PreChorus]

'Cause I've got a hand for you

I've got a hand for you

'Cause I wanna run with you

Oh, won't you let me run with you?

[Chorus]

Hold my hand

I 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

[Chorus]

Let me run, won't you let me, let me run now? Oh

Hold my hand

I 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

[Outro]

Hold my hand

I 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
