My Hand In Your Hand

My hand in your hand

That’s how it all began

Taking my first breath, opening my eyes

Smallest little wonder, born upon this night

My little hand in your hand

Little legs full of energy, risking all for independency

Toddler on the runway, taking my first steps

Though the gravel threatens to knock me on my chest

You’re my safety net, my hand in your hand

Car full of boxes, off to the sunshine state

Job offer in hand, sparkling gold dust in my pan

Though I’m miles away I’ll call you when I can

But it’s a big, long stretch for my hands

Pickin up a guitar, and then joining a band

Writing songs to express and understand 

“Time is precious” you said “what’s your plan? ”

All I knew was the hand I was dealt was not your hand

Seasons and years pass, you grew quite ill

There wasn’t any remedy, no doctor’s skill

That could pull you through, and when I came close to stand

All I knew, was put my hand in your hand

All I could do, was put my hand in your hand

All I knew, was put my hand in your hand
