lyrics
Take My Hand – Amelie Bottrill
V1
Your little hands, I’ll fill them up
With everything I have
With just a smile, you fill my cup
I’ll never thirst again
When I say your name, the sky opens
As I take a breath, I breathe you in
CHORUS
Take my hand.
We’ll walk forever
Beneath that never-ending sky
We’ll dress up as queens and heroes
Breathe the air in that we’ve borrowed
For a while
But I’ll love you
For all time.
V2
I’ve watched you grow, I’ve watched you ponder
The snails, bugs, and birds.
Out of all, when you call
The sweetest sound I’ve heard.
You cry sometimes, but you’re braver still.
‘cause you’re coming down from the highest hill.
BRIDGE
Girl, you have magic from head to toe
Take my hand, don’t let me go.
Please, take my hand and don’t let go.
CHORUS.
Take my hand.
We’ll walk forever
Beneath that never-ending sky
We’ll dress up as queens and heroes
Breathe the air in that we’ve borrowed
For a while
But I’ll love you
For all time.
My child.
I’ll love you
For all time.
I’ll love you
For all time.
