You raise your head, beat the sun
But your boys they lie, so close to you
Do you dare get up? And wake the two
Oh Elias, I see you there, at work in the daytime do you thinkyou could,
answer all the questions of the world
In just one word, I think you could.
If you die will i get word that you're gone
Or will i hear it in passing conversation
Will i stop short and, fall to the ground
Distance is short when your hand carries what your eye found
Hold my hand just one more time, to see if you're really gonnameet me
Hold my hand just one more time, to see if you're really gonnameet me
Honest and Manuel well you know, they're at school now
Getting the chance that, their father's never seen
See whats beyond, section 17
And in 10 years, when you look back at your boys
well you know they've grown, way taller than the tallest sugarcane in the field
If you die will i get word that you're gone
Or will i hear it in passing conversation
Will i stop short and, fall to the ground
Distance is short when your hand carries what your eye found
Hold my hand just one more time, to see if you're really gonnameet me
Hold my hand just one more time
Hold my hand just one more time
Hold my hand just one more time, to see if you're really gonnameet meee.
And I see your wife, she stands, stooped over by the fireoutside
And I see your boys, and when they look up, you know i thinkthey've got their mother's eyes
Cause she looks so proud, she looks so happy, she looks so proud,she looks so happy, yeaahhh
If you die will i get word that you're gone
Or will i hear it in passing conversation
Will i stop short and, fall to the ground
Distance is short when your hand carries what your eye found
Hold my hand just one more time, to see if you're really gonnameet me
Hold my hand just one more time, to see if you're really gonnameet me
Hold my hand just one more tiiiime (Aya, Aya, Ayaahah)
Hold my hand ,one more time (Aya, Aya, Ayaahah)
Dayah ya ya, yah yah yah, yah yah yah (Aya, Aya, Ayaahaha)
Hold my hand just one more time, to see if you're really gonnameet me
Hold my hand just one more time, to see if you're really gonnameet me
