Take Me By The Hand

Suzanne Mondoux · 3 July 2020

Take me by the hand to a place I’ve been before To a place I know so well, I love being there Or to a place I’ve never been, but know so well It knows me too well, we recognize one another In the land of the wild, of the free, of the dreams we dream so well Take me by the hand, lets make a chain of hands A hand in mind, with another, becoming one A brand new land, a brand new day What lies ahead this chain of hands Whose face do you see, which way are they looking Take me by the hand and take me where I want to be Where I want to sleep, rest my dreams in my dreams See me dreaming in my dreams Feel this feeling of being me, when you take me by the hand So long this chain of hands, never two the same Never two looking the same way, whose face do you see What leads me to this place Take me by the hand so I may see who leads me there For a moment in time life stands still right here Take me by the hand and spin me round till I fall Silly with laughter I look around where all this leads Some places familiar, others too strange to remember Some no place I’ve been before, where does this lead Others I know too well where I’m headed Take me by the hand into my direction Lead me astray so I can find my way Into the shadow of my life, so long ago, and yet so close I see what was I see what was when you take me by the hand to where I don’t know I don’t know where all this goes, I don’t really want to know It seems the mystery of life is often better than too much certainty I like them both, I’m better for the contrast of my life, of this life Take me by the hand, where else do I want to go Take me by the hand, I’ll know when to let go
