Hard Hand to Hold

Look him in the eyes, there's no need to be scared

He's as powerless as you and me

Though his face is well worn and his clothes a bit torn

That don't mean that you shouldn't believeWhen he asks you your name says

"Brother we're all here in the same game

But you shrink back like he's a disease

Yeah, you shake and you moan, you say

Oh please take me home

And the homeless all sing the repriseIt's a hard hand to hold that is looking for control

It is tempting to fight when you know that you're right

It's hard to lie down when you don't trust the ground

It's hard to hold on, it's hard to hold onWalking home again, there comes a battle with the wind

As it teases your previsions against shame

Like all that wax in your hair it becomes painfully clear

That as long as it's a fight you'll never winAnd when you get to the door you're still so busy fighting wars

That you can't look upon your lady as a friend

You're trying so hard to be right, you miss the love in that first sight

And your lover feels alone once againIt's a hard hand to hold that is looking for control

It is tempting to fight when you know that you're right

It's hard to lie down when you don't trust the ground

It's hard to hold on, it's hard to hold onEntering the liquor store you try your hardest to ignore

That street sleeper on your left there all alone

And the young man on your right with unchained souls and love of night

You look so scared they laugh and wonder if you're stonedBut somewhere deep inside they feel the pain they've learned to hide

Because that same fear has brought much trouble on their homes

And they know you won't feel safe until that cop car wins its race

And another life is driven off its roadIt's a hard hand to hold that is looking for control

It is tempting to fight when you know that you're right

It's hard to lie down when you don't trust the ground

It's hard to hold on, yeah it's hard to hold onIt's a hard hand to hold that is looking for control

It is tempting to fight when you know that you're right

It's hard to lie down when you don't trust the ground

It's hard to hold on, yeah it's hard to hold on
