Here are the words of an old man Kept in the care of a young man In the prime of life, in the prime of life He carries the dreams of the old world Into the hope of a new world And a better life, oh a better life I reach out and take your hand The one thing in the world that I am sure of You reach out and take my hand The one thing that I understand I'm yours, I'm yours, I'm yours, I'm yours Breaking the chains of the past life Guiding the steps to a new life And peace of mind, and peace of mind Who gave the sign of a new day Carries the weight for a name sake You gave away, you gave away I reach out and take your hand The one thing in the world that I am sure of You reach out and take my hand The one thing that I understand I'm yours, I'm yours, I'm yours, I'm yours Here's the remains of the young man Shaped into life by an old man Who paves the way then hides away I breathe the air of the new world Straining for sight in the new world And a better life, ooooh a better life I reach out and take your hand The one thing in the world that I am sure of You reach out and take my hand Your mystic soul I understand I'm yours I reach out and take your hand The one thing in the world that I am sure of You reach out and take my hand Your mystic soul I understand I'm yours I'm yours, I'm yours, I'm yours yes I'm yours, I'm yours, yours
