Got a lot of things working against me, but I know I can’t lose,
I got a lot of things working against me, but I know I can’t lose.
There’s a lot of miles still between me and my home,
But I’ve learned a lot through the years, and now I’m more than young,
I got a lot of things working against me, but I know I can’t lose.
Got a lot of love locked up inside of me, I’m learning to give,
Got a lot of love locked up inside of me, I’m learning to give.
It’s that like that bush in Sinai that burned but was not consumed,
May the speed of my life throw sparks on the shadows of the tombs,
There’s a lot of love locked up inside me, I’m learning to give.
So hold on to my hand, hold on to my hand,
I need a place to run to and a place to stand.
There’s a lot of things this world has hidden, I’m learning to see,
There’s a lot of things this world has hidden, I’m learning to see for the first time.
I have seen some injustice, I’ve seen mercy too,
I was blinded by the things I saw until I looked at you,
There’s a lot of things this world has hidden, I’m beginning to see.
So hold on to my hand, hold on to my hand,
I need a place to run to and a place to stand.
So hold on to my hand, hold on to my hand,
I need a place to run to,
So hold on to my hand, hold on to my hand,
I need a place to run to and a place to stand.
There’s a lot of things working against me, but I know I can’t lose,
Oh no,
‘Cause I got a lot of love living inside me,
Learning to give, learning to give,
I’m learning to give like it’s already there,
Oh, you taught me to give,
You taught me to see,
Oh, I wish I could see without this song,
Oh, in the prairie I hear to you call,
In the mountains and the sea,
I can see you, I can see you, I can see you,
(fade)
