Hold My Hand
I heard him say, come, hold my hand
To an old woman on the road,
People there didn’t see her stand
Helpless, afraid to cross the road.
To a blind child begging on street
I heard him say, come, hold my hand
When she tumbled on a man’s feet,
Fate's game she didn’t understand.
An old man clung to lone last strand
Finding he had nowhere to go,
I heard him say, come, hold my hand
We’d walk out, see the grand rainbow.
This good Samaritan discarded
Found his hour glass fast losing sand,
Implored me in a weak voice sad
I heard him say, come, hold my hand.
