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.
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 a while."
'Cause I got a hand for you.
I got a hand for you.
I wanna run with you.
(Won't you let me run with you.)
Hold my hand.
(Want you to hold my hand.)
Hold my hand.
I'll take you
Hold hand.
(to a place where you can be)
anything you wanna be because
I wanna love you the best that,
the best that I can.
See, I was wasted and I was wasting time
'til I thought about your problem,
I thought about your crime.
Then I stood up and I screamed aloud,
"Don't wanna be part of your problem,
don't wanna be part of your crowd."
'Cause I got a hand for you.
I got a hand for you.
I wanna run with you.
(Won't you let me run with you.)
Hold my hand.
(Want you to hold my hand.)
Hold my hand.
I'll take you
Hold hand.
(to the promised land.)
Maybe we can't change the world, but
I wanna love you the best that,
the best that I can. Yeah.
Hold my hand.
Want you to hold my hand.
Hold my hand.
I'll take you to a place where you can be
anything you wanna be
because I oh, no, no, no.
Hold my hand.
Want you to hold my hand.
Hold my hand.
I'll take you to the promised land.
Maybe we can't change the world, but
I wanna love you the best that,
the best that I can, oh,
the best that I can.
