Lyrics

I’m called to raise this staff up high
Up on this rocky hill I’ll climb
And raise my hands to win this battle
And as I do I see my enemies flee 

But with time my arms grow weary 
And with time my hands they falter
I can’t do it alone 
I can’t do it on my own

Won’t you hold my hands up (hold my hands up)
Won’t you hold my hands up (hold my hands up)
Won’t you hold my hands up Won’t you give me the strength that I need
Won’t you hold my hands up 

You’re called to raise your staff up high                                                
Up on this rocky hill you’ll climb 
And raise your hands to win this battle
As you do you see enemies flee 

But with time your arms grow weary 
And with time your hands they falter
You can’t do it alone 
You can’t do it on your own                                   

I will hold your hands up (I’ll hold your hands up)
I will hold your hands up (I’ll hold your hands up)
I will hold your hands up, I will give you the strength that you need
I will hold your hands up

One strand may break, but two will be better
One strand may break but three’s even stronger
One strand may break but two will be better
One strand may break but three’s even stronger

Won’t you hold my hands up (I’ll hold your hands up)
Won’t you hold my hands up (I’ll hold your hands up)
Won’t you hold my hands up  Won’t you give me the strength that I need
I will hold your hands up (repeat)
