Take My Hand
issue feat lynn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whispers of conspiracy, secret plots
Egged on by falsehoods, Truth gets whacked
Democracy, we can do better than that
Democracy... authoritarianism is calling... oh-oh-oh
Take my hand... take my hand
Beaten at the polls, losers cry foul
Bruised and battered, democracy is struggling
Don't we know Trust keeps the Ship afloat
Democracy... authoritarianism is calling... oh-oh-oh
Take my hand... take my hand
What good are global, life-saving efforts
If we flick off science's sound advice
We push back against curbs on our freedoms
But victory won't save us if we miss the Point
Democracy... authoritarianism is calling... oh-oh-oh
Take my hand... take my hand
What good are victories in Washington
Stealing still ranks as Supremely unfair
Too much crooked winning and off go our freedoms
If there's cracks in the foundation, lets repair
I'm just scared, I'll tell you so
I can see, I can see, what's going on below
Too many problems, not enough solutions
We're in a logjam, can't get out
We need democracy and truth to sustain us
And that's what this is all about. Oh-oh-oh

Standing in a crowded room and I can't see your face
Put your arms around me, tell me everything's OK
In my mind, I'm running round a cold and empty space
Just put your arms around me, tell me everything's OK
Break my bones but you won't see me fall, oh
The rising tide will rise against them all, oh
Darling, hold my hand
Oh, won't you hold my hand?
'Cause I don't wanna walk on my own anymore
Won't you understand?
'Cause I don't wanna walk alone
I'm ready for this, there's no denying
I'm ready for this, you stop me falling
I'm ready for this, I need you all in
I'm ready for this, so darling hold my hand
Soul is like a melting pot when you're not next to me
Tell me that you've got me and you're never gonna leave
Tryna find a moment where I can find release
Please tell me that you've got me and you're never gonna leave
Break my bones but you won't see me fall, oh
The rising tide will rise against them all, oh
Darling, hold my hand
Oh won't you hold my hand?
'Cause I don't wanna walk on my own anymore
Won't you understand?
'Cause I don't wanna walk alone
I'm ready for this, there's no denying
I'm ready for this, you stop me falling
I'm ready for this, I need you all in
I'm ready for this, so darling, hold my hand
Don't wanna know
That feeling when I'm all alone
So please don't make me wait, cause I don't wanna break
And I don't wanna fall
When you're next to me
Can tell I'm not afraid to be
That you don't make me wait, and never let me break
You never let me fall
Darling, hold my hand
Oh, won't you hold my hand?
'Cause I don't wanna walk on my own anymore
Won't you understand?
'Cause I don't wanna walk alone
I'm ready for this, there's no denying
I'm ready for this, you stop me falling
I'm ready for this, I need you all in
I'm ready for this, so darling, hold my hand
