Still Holding My Hand

I was sure that I would never escape

The story I had written for me

I couldn't find a way out

I couldn't see beyond the clouds that swirled around me

Then one day, I opened my eyes

And looked up to find that the sky had turned blindingly blue

And right by my side, there was you quietly taking your stand

And you were holding my hand

I believed that I (I believed)

Would never be able to rely (that I would never find)

On anybody else (anybody else)

And I was sure that I (I was)

Would just have to learn to survive (sure that I would always)

All by myself (be all by myself)

And one day, I opened my eyes (one day I opened my eyes)

And looked up to find that the sky had turned blindingly blue

And right by my side, there was you quietly taking a stand

And you were holding my hand

You were holding my hand!

You were just there for me

Quietly taking a stand

Changing the end of my story for me

You were there as I battled my fears

I fell and you helped me to stand

When the storm finally cleared

You were there

You were still holding my hand

You were still holding my hand

You kicked down the doors for me (kicked down the doors for me)

You helped me understand (you helped me understand)

There was another version of me

You were still holding my hand (when I grow up)

You were just there for me (I will be braver)

Quietly taking a stand (after all)

Changing the end of my story for me

You were still holding my hand

You were just there for me

Quietly taking a stand

Changing the end of my story for me

You were still holding my hand
