You raise your head, beneath 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 in the world in just one word?
I think you could.
If you die will I get word that you're gone?
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 need me.
Hold my hand just one more time,
to see if you're really gonna need me.
Honest and Manuel, well you know, they're at school now
Given the chance that their father's never seen
see whats beyond Section 17.
And in ten 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?
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 need 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 need me.
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 got their mother's eyes.
'Cause she looks so proud. She looks so happy.
She looks so proud. She looks so happy. Yeaaaaaaaaah
If you die will I get word that you're gone?
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 need me.
Hold my hand just one more time,
to see if you're really gonna need me.
Hold my hand just one more time. (Aya, Aya, Ayaahah)
Hold my hand, one more time. (Aya, Aya, Ayaahah)
aya 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 need me.
Hold my hand just one more time,
to see if you're really gonna need me.
