"Well there's a lot of things working against me

But I know I can't lose

Yeah there's a lot of things working against me

But I know I can't lose

And there's a lot of miles still between me and my home

But I've learned a lot through the years, now

I'm more than just young

I got a lot of things working against me

But I know I can't lose



And there's a lot of love locked up inside of me

That I'm learning to give

Yeah there's a lot of love locked up inside of me

That I'm learning to give

So that like that bush in Sinai that burned but was not consumed

May the speed of my life throw sparks on the shadows of the tombs

I got a lot of love locked up inside me

I'm learning to give



So hold on to my hand yeah hold on to my hand

'Cause I need a place to run to and a place to stand



And there's a lot of things this world has hidden

That I'm learning to see

Yeah there's a lot of things this world has hidden

That I'm learning to see

Well I have seen some injustice but I've seen mercy too

I was blinded by the things I saw until I looked at you

There's a lot of things this world has hidden

I'm learning to see



So hold on to my hand hold on to my hand

'Cause I need a place to run to and a place to stand



Hold on to my hand yeah hold on to my hand

'Cause I need a place to run to and a place to stand "
