Hold my hand when you feel lost
I’m no prophet, no celestial guide
But I can keep your hand in mine
Sit with you by your side

Hold my hand when hope has dimmed
I can’t move mountains nor the seas
But I can be with you a while 
For you to feel some peace

Hold my hand when your tread is heavy 
I’m not Atlas, I can’t displace
The burden off your weary shoulders
But I can carry it with you a pace

Hold my hand when life is joyless
I can’t delight you nor beguile
But I can try to ease your ache
Give your face a little smile 

Hold my hand and let me try
To soothe your heavy heart a bit
Life’s ups and downs will keep going round 
But when you want, with you I’ll sit
