Well there's a lot of things working against me 
But I know I can't lose 
Yeah, there's a lot of things working against me 
But I know I can't lose 
And there's a lot of miles still between me and my home 
But I've learned a lot through the years, now 
I'm more than just young 
I got a lot of things working against me 
But I know I can't lose 

And there's a lot of love locked up inside of me 
That I'm learning to give 
Yeah, there's a lot of love locked up inside of me 
That I'm learning to give 
So 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 
I got a lot of love locked up inside me 
I'm learning to give 

So hold on to my hand, yeah hold on to my hand 
Cause I need a place to run to and a place to stand 

And there's a lot of things this world has hidden 
That I'm learning to see 
Yeah, there's a lot of things this world has hidden 
That I'm learning to see 
Well I have seen some injustice but 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 learning to see 

So hold on to my hand, hold on to my hand 
Cause I need a place to run to and a place to stand 

Hold on to my hand, yeah hold on to my hand 
Cause I need a place to run to and a place to stand
