Take My Hand
Dick Wagner & The Frost Lyrics

Yeah yeah yeah
Expressing excitement and enthusiasm

Classic vibes only
Emphasizing the timeless quality and nostalgic feel of the music

I only made a wish
Acknowledging the humble beginnings and simple desires of the songwriter

Yeah yeah
Reiterating the excitement and enthusiasm previously expressed

Look ey
Directing the listener's attention to what follows

Darkness is proudly sponsored by all the failures in life
Suggesting that adversity is a natural part of life and can lead to personal growth

So many people can dictate how you should live your life
Commenting on societal pressure and the expectations placed on individuals

Like how you think making music buys you a bread in life?
Pointing out the misconception that creative pursuits cannot lead to financial stability

Lil did they know I can do this without money in sight
Highlighting the songwriter's resilience and self-sufficiency

Tried being a pilot and trading but still ain't feeling right
Reflecting on past experiences that did not bring fulfillment

Always unhappy and even wanted to take my life
Revealing a personal struggle with mental health and suicidal thoughts

Like do you know how it feels to sit down your parents and tell them you quitting this career
Describing the difficulty of disappointing loved ones with major life decisions

Especially for something you've been doing but still ain't made no move
Conveying the frustration of putting in effort without seeing progress

Like how the hell should I cope with this pressure on my shoulders
Expressing the emotional burden of dealing with stress and hardship

Mmh?
Indicating a questioning or contemplative tone

Ey God I'm writing you this letter, I filled it up with sins
Addressing God directly and confessing one's faults and shortcomings

I almost gave up my soul to make it within my dreams
Revealing a past choice to compromise one's values in the pursuit of success

Forgetting that I'm Christian, firm believer that is saved
Acknowledging a lapse in faith or moral integrity

Writing my papers with dirty rhymes and you never in script
Admitting to using vulgar or inappropriate language in one's creative work

I hope my soul you take and be the child you won't forsake
Expressing faith in God's mercy and forgiveness

I'm fighting dangers of the world, while I remain content
Describing the challenge of resisting societal pressures and staying true to oneself

And may my eyes never show pride
Asking for humility and gratitude

My tongue never speak lies
Asking for honesty and integrity

And
Connecting two related aspirations together

May my feet never run to the devil
Asking for protection against temptation and evil

On behalf of everyone, I'm really sorry my lord
Seeking forgiveness for the sins of oneself and others

Sometimes reality feels realistic than our prayers
Reflecting on the challenge of reconciling faith with the realities of life

I'm cleaning up my guilt
Expressing a desire to make amends and improve oneself

Soak up myself in a pool of hundred percent grape juice
Using a lighthearted metaphor to describe the process of cleansing oneself of sin

And this a life I choose
Affirming one's commitment to a particular lifestyle or set of values

You blessing people that's treated badly for doing right
Noticing the unfair treatment of those who live moral lives

What's the point of living without the one who gave me life?
Posing a rhetorical question about the purpose of existence

I used to focus on cars, money, houses etcetera
Admitting to previously prioritizing material possessions

Now I don't care 'bout the cars or money inside my pockets
Indicating a shift in priorities and values

Overdosed the pill of happiness and followed you
Embracing faith as the source of one's joy and fulfillment

The poverty and pain inside me made me someone new
Claiming that difficult life experiences led to personal growth and transformation

Loving material things is same as hating you
Asserting that a preoccupation with possessions can lead to a neglect of spiritual values

I hope somebody listens
Expressing a desire for the message to resonate with others

And get it right
Encouraging the listener to embody the values expressed in the song

God if I ever drown another day
Asking for protection and guidance in times of hardship

I hope my sins are cleared and I just pray my soul you take
Seeking forgiveness and redemption for one's transgressions

And if my pain will never fly away
Acknowledging the possibility of ongoing struggle and hardship

I hope I open up to people so they can relate
Recognizing the value of vulnerability and shared experience in building connections with others

God if I ever drown another day
Reiterating the request for divine assistance

I hope my sins are cleared and I just pray my soul you take
Reiterating the request for forgiveness and redemption

And if my pain will never fly away
Reiterating the acknowledgment of ongoing struggle and hardship

I hope I open up to people so they can relate
Reiterating the recognition of the value of vulnerability and shared experience in building connections with others
