Take My Hand
U-Go-Boy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I hope I've served you well
Oh — I've lived a life to join you
And now only time will tell
Oh — Take my hand when you are worried
Take my hand when you're alone
Take my hand and let me guide you
Father dear father
Pulled his car to the side of the road
Looked at his children with tears in his eyes
Said life is too heavy a load
Take my hand when you are worried
Take my hand when you're alone
Take my hand and let me guide you
Take my hand to lead you home
Some days I'm struck with sorrow
Need a place to hide
There's nowhere else you can put life
But way down deep inside
Take my hand and let me guide you
Take my hand when you're alone
Take my hand and let me guide you
Take my hand to lead you home
Take my hand when you are worried
Take my hand to lead you home
Take my hand and let me guide you
Take my hand to lead you home
Take my hand...
