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 believe, When 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 reprise. It'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 on. Walking home again There comes a battle with the wind As it teases your previsions against shame, Like all that wax in your hair SongtexteIt becomes painfully clear That as long as it's a fight, you'll never win, And 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 again. It'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 on.

It'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 on. It'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 on Aus Songtexte Mania
