Refrain What about the promised land Where the people gave their faith for a helping hand So let's take the chance Hold my hand and pray Hold my hand and stay together every night and day What about reality And the victims of all the violence in history So let's take the chance Hold my hand and pray Hold my hand that gives you hope, don't run away 1. When I was young You gave me hope in the moments of sadness When I was crying You consoled myself with the thought, it could have been worse Thousands of people suffering a much harder fate They lost someone they loved They lost their will to live You only got a little scratch In moments like that, you used to take my hand and wiped my tears away Repeating your words of hope 2. Now you left this world You still have the power to help me Even today, your words are like a helping hand giving me hope and strength What abouth to all these faithless people Are they smiling again ? Have they ever known someone like you ? You will always be my guiding star and you will pull me through Repeating your words of hope
