Fighting back the impulse,
Turn my head and close my eyes,
Spending these nights awake
And cold and paralyzed.
Wonder how we got this far
And never realized
The common thread that binds our lives,
And I know you hurt
But I can help you if you can…
Take my hand
And we'll live inside the dreams
We left behind,
Take my hand
As we move from this place
To a better life,
Take my hand,
If you take my hand…
Fighting back the feeling
That you always could deny
Anything but everything we know
Is just a lie,
As I cremate this memory
And watch the darkened ashes rise,
And beneath the smoke
I'll stand and ask you if you can…
Take my hand
And I'll promise not to ever let it go,
Take my hand
Cause this hope is greater
Than you'll ever know,
Take my hand
And this is all I'll ever
Ask of you to show
Fight back the urges,
Turn my head and close my eyes
And will I wake tomorrow still alive?
I'm still dreaming, I'm still waiting
I'm still sure you're still living
In a life that isn't yours.
And this is part of me
I hope you never see
This is my life inside your heart.
Take my hand
And I'll promise not to ever let it go,
Take my hand
Cause this hope is greater
Than you'll ever know,
Take my hand
And this is all I'll ever
Ask of you to show…
