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 think you 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 gonna meet me

Hold my hand just one more time, to see if you're really gonna meet 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 sugar cane 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 gonna meet 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 gonna meet meee.

And I see your wife, she stands, stooped over by the fire outside

And I see your boys, and when they look up, you know i think they'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 gonna meet me

Hold my hand just one more time, to see if you're really gonna meet 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 gonna meet me

Hold my hand just one more time, to see if you're really gonna meet me
