Hold my hand, my son

Hold my hand, my son

No, you are not old enough

to cross the road on your own

Life is full of silly accidents - 

no need to cause any more

Hold my hand, my son

some may say they'll give you a chance

but crash right into your soul

those are the ones you need to avoid

no need to plant seeds now

of more broken hearts

Hold my hand, my son

One day love will strangle you

like a snake around your neck

causing you to breathe heavily

and your heart will be a rabbit

caught in its grip

it's okay to yield to such a love

but you need to know that it's real

until then, my son

just hold my hand.
