Hugh Masekela
With Her Hand
His story is a simple one
A beginning, a middle, and an end
Man begins a boy
And boys become men, when love is presented to them
Real love he could wait for
Real love doesn't fade
Beauty in her frame
Beauty will sustain him, from decade, to decade, to decade
Wine and dine the eyes(?)
That wound and ground him down to size
And took control, seized his soul
Made him fight harder to stay alive
Real love makes you feel strong
Like there is nothing you cannot withstand
Let them intimidate, and throw around their weight
Just as long as when you leave this land
With her hand
In your hand
With her hand
In your hand
With her hand
In your hand
If you leave this land a lucky man
Than you'll have
Have her hand
In your hand
