The Cast of Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical
Still Holding My Hand
[MISS HONEY]
I was sure that I
Would never escape the story I'd
Had written for me
I couldn't find a way out
I couldn't see beyond the clouds
That swirled around me
Then one day, I opened my eyes
And looked up to find
That the sky had turned blindingly blue
And right by my side, there was you
Quietly taking your stand
And you are holding my hand
[MATILDA & (MISS HONEY)]
I believed that I (I believed that I)
Would never be able to rely (Would never find anybody else)
On anybody else
And I was sure that I (And I was sure that I)
Would just have to learn to survive (Would always be all by myself)
All by myself
And one day I opened my eyes (I opened my eyes)
And looked up to find
That the sky had turned blindingly blue
And right by my side, there was you
Quietly taking a stand
And you are holding my hand
[MATILDA, MISS HONEY, & CHILDREN]
You are holding my hand
You were just there for me
Quietly taking a stand
Changing the end of my story for me
You were there as I battled my fears
I fell and you helped me to stand
When the storm finally cleared (You were there)
You were still holding my hand
You were still holding my hand
You kicked down the doors for me (Kicked down the doors for me)
You helped me understand (You helped me understand)
There was another version of me
You were still holding my hand
You were just there for me (I will be brave)
Quietly taking a stand
Changing the end of my story for me
You were still holding my hand
You were just there for me
Quietly taking a stand
Changing the end of my story for me
[MATILDA & MISS HONEY]
You were still holding my hand
