All Hands Held Lyrics

There was a time

When I was young

And everyone around me sang

About before

And how it's gone

Such a melancholy pang

And in that moment

All I could say

Was thank you all for this day

Togetherness, and simple things

With all hands held

And all hearts warm

Long ago

When we were young

We stood with people we once knew

Huddled close

And chasing dreams

Now the hopes have turned us blue

But now I wonder

If I am here

Taking it for granted still

Togetherness, and simple things

With all hands held

And all hearts warm

As we face

The life we make

I only hope you heed these words

Make a choice

And stand your ground

Holding out at every turn

Whatever happens

Please promise me

That you will hold the time you have

Close at heart, in gentle arms

With all hands held

And all hearts warm

Listen, I never ask for very much

But with a touch

Please understand

We may be finite

But our actions are forever

Listen, see days and weeks and years go by

Don't say goodbye

No, not just yet

Fate is but the course you set for you
