Lead Me on lyrics

You know how it feels, you understand
What it is to be a stranger
In this unfriendly land

Here's my hand
Here is my hand
Take it, darling
And I'll follow you

Let me walk
I want to walk right by your side
Let your love be my only guide

Here's my hand
Here is my hand
Why don't you take it, darling
And just lead me on

Lead me on, lead me on
You know I'm a stranger
And I'm so all alone

Here's my hand
Here is my hand
Why don't you take it
And just lead me on

And I'll follow you

 You know how it feels, you understand What it is to be a stranger In this unfriendly land Here's my hand Here is my hand Take it, darling And I'll follow you Let me walk I want to walk right by your side Let your love be my only guide Here's my hand Here is my hand Why don't you take it, darling And just lead me on Lead me on, lead me on You know I'm a stranger And I'm so all alone Here's my hand Here is my hand Why don't you take it And just lead me on And I'll follow you
