Verse

Kasi wa i, kasi wa i, ma ka simba, er e 
Ndaka simba, kanamaka simba ohhhh
Ndaka simba, ndaka simba 
Ndaka simba, kanamaka simba ohhhh

Verse

You raise your head, beat the sun
But your boys they lie, so close to you 
Do you dare get up and wake the two?
Oh Elias, I see you there, at work in the day time
Do you think you could answer all the questions of the world, 
in just one word? I think you could

Pre-Chorus

If you die will I get word that you're gone 
Or will I hear it in passing conversation? 
Or will I stop short and fall to the ground? 
Distance is short when your hand carries what your eye found

Chorus

Hold my hand just one more time
To see if you're really gonna meet me
Hold my hand just one more time
To see if you're really gonna meet me...

Verse

Honest and Manuel, well you know
They're at school now, given the chance that their father's never seen
To see what's beyond Section 17 
And in ten years, when you look back at your boys
Well you know they've grown way taller than the tallest
Sugar cane in the field

Pre-Chorus

If you die will I get word that you're gone 
Or will I hear it in passing conversation? 
Or will I stop short and fall to the ground? 
Distance is short when your hand carries what your eye found

Chorus

Hold my hand just one more time
To see if you're really gonna meet me
Hold my hand just one more time
  
Hold my hand just one more time
  
Hold my hand just one more time
To see if you're really gonna meet me...

Bridge

  
  
  
  
And I see your wife, she stands
stooped over by the fire outside 
And I see your boys, and when they look up 
You know I think they got their mother's eyes
Cause she looks so proud 
She looks so happy 
She looks so proud 
She looks so happy 
(E)
Yeah!

Pre-Chorus

If you die, will I get word that you're gone 
Or Will I hear it in passing conversation? 
Or will I stop short and fall to the ground? 
Distance is short when your hand carries what your eye found 

Chorus

Hold my hand just one more time
To see if you're really gonna meet me...
Hold my hand just one more time
To see if you're really gonna meet me...

Outro

Hold my hand just one more time
  
Hold my hand just one more time
  
Ayyy ay ay ayyy ay ay ayyyy
ayyyy ayy ayyyy
Ayyy ay ay ayyy ay ay ayyyy
ayyyy ayy ayyyy
Hold my hand just one more time
To see if you're really gonna meet me...
Hold my hand just one more time
To see if you're really gonna meet me...
