Akon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This life don't last forever (Hold my hand)
So tell me what we're waiting for (Hold my hand)
We're better off being together (Hold my hand)

So if you just hold my hand
Baby I promise that I'll do all I can
Things will go better if you just, hold my hand
Nothing can come between us if you just hold,
Hold my, hold, hold my, hold my hand, hold my hand

The lyrics of "Hold my Hand" by Akon featuring Michael Jackson suggest the idea of being together and supporting one another through the good and bad times. The song seems to be about two people who have been in dark places before but find comfort in each other's company. The chorus repeats that if the other person just holds their hand, then things will get better. The song starts by acknowledging that life is short, and the two singers do not want to waste any time being alone when they could better off being together. They then talk about how they have both been in tough situations before but they can make it through together. The chorus repeats like a mantra that holding hands will make everything better, and they will be able to overcome any obstacle together.
