With a little love, and some tenderness 
We’ll walk upon the water 
We’ll rise above this mess 

With a little peace, and some harmony 
We’ll take the world together 
We’ll take ’em by the hand 

‘Cause I’ve got a hand for you 
‘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’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 

Hold my hand 
Want you to hold my hand 
Hold my hand 
I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can 

See I was wasted, and I was wasting 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

 
‘Cause I’ve got a hand for you 
I’ve got a hand for you 
‘Cause I wanna run with you 

Hold my hand 
Want you to hold my hand 
Hold my hand 
I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can, yeah
