From the recording The Hand That Grabs Mine
Lyrics
The Hand That Grabs Mine
now I don't know what I can do
this is how I am
I have these cards I’ve been dealt
and it ain’t the best hand
isolation is the safest way
I step on no ones toes
I can manage to get through the day
with out dealing with anyone's woes
but my own.
so I remain scared
reaching out
for the hand that grabs mine
may pull me down
and it is hard enough to deal with
when you are afraid
you put up a front oh so tough
you put up a barricade
and I have seen those worse off
I’ve seen those at the trough
I’ve seen those sold and those bought
and those who are and are not caught
though I was taught to think of others
Never much liked that lesson
friends sisters & brothers
was consideration a weapon?
so I remain scared
scared of reaching out
for the hand that grabs mine
may pull me down
