Hold My Hand In Yours

Hold my hand in yours; we’ll make it through.

If life becomes too hard to comprehend,

for no one understands me like you do.

Along life’s lonely road, I’ll walk with you.

When times are hard, please know you have a friend.

Hold my hand in yours; we’ll make it through.

I’m here for you. You give me your strength too;

my courage is no longer just pretend,

for no one understands me like you do.

My friend, I’ll cheer you up when you are blue,

A smile, my heart to yours will always send.

Hold my hand in yours; we’ll make it through.

If I am down, you make me feel brand new

You know the way, my broken heart to mend,

for no one understands me like you do.

Though oft times life presents a horrid view,

Together we can face the bitter end.

Hold my hand in yours; we’ll make it through,

for no one understands me like you do.
