ONCE I STOOD IN THE NIGHT, WITH MY HEAD BOWED LOW
WITH DARKNESS AS BLACK AS THE SEA
AND MY HEART WAS AFRAID
AND I CRIED, OH LORD, DON'T HIDE YOUR FACE FROM ME

CHORUS

TAKE MY HAND ALL THE WAY, EVERY HOUR, EVERY DAY
FROM HERE TO THE GREAT UNKNOWN
TAKE MY HAND, HELP ME STAND WHERE NO ONE STANDS ALONE

LIKE A KING, I MAY LIVE, IN A PALACE SO TOLD
WITH GREAT RICHES TO CALL MY OWN
I DON'T KNOW A THING
IN THIS WHOLE WIDE WORLD THAT'S WORSE THAN BEING ALONE

CHORUS

TAKE MY HAND ALL THE WAY, EVERY HOUR, EVERY DAY
FROM HERE TO THE GREAT UNKNOWN
TAKE MY HAND, HELP ME STAND WHERE NO ONE STANDS ALONE
