Grab Hold - Nikka Costa

Cover the deeds you have done

Time with your father teaching you

That we should never be one

To hold out a hand to help a man

Crying for help in another tongue

And cheek as you call it justifying

Pulling the reins on your child

By teaching some people are better off

Leaving what they don’t know unknown

To me why we act this way now

When there is so little time

To choose what to cherish is a crime

It makes the world turn over and over…

People grab hold

There’s a world a turnin' and it won’t take no for an answer, my friend

Belong to each other or the world will turn faster and faster

Grab hold or the world’s gonna throw us

Where are the changes we say we make?

Each other unhappy being here

And it’s no better over there

Well maybe the grass is greener of someone

Trying to belong in a place

Where the people can be cruel to your face

It makes the world turn over and over…

People grab hold

There’s a world a turnin' and it won’t take no for an answer, my friend

Belong to each other or the world will turn faster and faster

Grab hold

There’s a world a turnin' and it won’t take no for an answer, my friend

Belong to each other or the world will turn…
