lyrics

Holding hands in public
Hands all gnarled and twisted
Like ancient entwined apple trees
Growing in the wild

Holding on for dear life
Holding up each other
Sixty years of walking down that sidewalk
Side by side

When I lay down my burden
It will be with you
And we’ll rise together
We’ll rise together
When I lay down my burden
It will be with you
And we’ll rise

Still through all that living
No secrets kept between them
And if they might say something
That they should regret

No hand was raised in anger
But extended to the other
And hand in hand they walk and talk
‘Til the trouble’s laid to rest

When I lay down my burden
It will be with you
And we’ll rise together
We’ll rise together
When I lay down my burden
It will be with you
And we’ll rise


Break


Holding hands in public
Is an act of courage
When your love isn’t
Welcome everywhere

Holding on for dear life
Holding up each other
Holding hope for all of us that
Real love can survive

When I lay down my burden
It will be with you
And we’ll rise together
We’ll rise together
When I lay down my burden
It will be with you
And we’ll rise

When I lay down my burden
It will be with you
We’ll arrive together
We’ll arrive
Holding hands
