I'll Hold Out My Hand

(album: Dimensions - 1969)

Just like a child
Got to set your heart to believe in
But you don't even try
To let yourself believe what you're feeling

So I'll hold out my hand
And I'll be your friend
You don't have to be mine
And I'll try and I'll try
And try it again
To get you to open your eyes

So little we see
To show us where we should be going
And if what we can feel
Is the only thing really worth knowing

Then I'll hold out my hand
And I'll be your friend
You don't have to be mine
And I'll try and I'll try
And try it again
To get you to open your eyes

We could walk through fields of sunshine
If we only let it be
Just turn around and see yourself
You know you're just like me
We could leave it all behind
Got to live a different way
And then I'll wait until tomorrow
Got to get it done

So I'll hold out my hand
And I'll be your friend
You don't have to be mine
And I'll try and I'll try
And try it again
To get you to open your eyes
