lyrics

I remember how the night was threatening
The long loud silence that deadened my thinking
I remember how the moon was glowing
How well its light reflected on the metal of the fences
And I saw myself running and stumbling and running towards the gate
And I wanted to hold your head and hold my breath to ease your pain

Would you let me take your hand and show you ?
There is a better way to go through all this

I remember how loud the men were laughing
The terrifying noise of their dogs barking
And I was so scared, so scared, scared at the thought of their fangs in my skin
And I felt so ashamed. It was nothing compared to your hurting.

Would you let me take your hand and show you ?
There is a better way to go through all this
Would you let me wash the mud of your face ?
Would you let me carry you home, safe ?

Will I run fast enough to rescue you ?
Who am I to think I can make it ?
Will I be strong enough to carry you ?
Who am I to think I can make it ?
I can make it.

Would you let me take your hand and show you ?
There is a better way to go through all this
Would you let me wash the mud of your face ?
Would you let me carry you home, safe ?
